The Clemson Center for Geospatial Technologies (CCGT) is hosting the GIS for Engineering and the Environment Workshop Series beginning on Friday, Jan. 20. These weekly hands-on workshops will provide experience with a variety of GIS concepts, software, and skills and are designed to help students acquire GIS skills that are in-demand for research and the job market. The workshops are free and open to all Clemson students, faculty, and staff and can register at bit.ly/seriesreg. Participants can attend one, several, or all workshops in the series with the possibility of earning a CCGT Certificate of Attendance.
The series will begin with Introduction to GIS, which will give students a basic understanding of ArcGIS Desktop software, its basic functionality, and applications.
