This fast-paced course guides you through the basic data creation steps in ArcView 3.3. Beginning with how to open the ArcView 3.3 user interface, then how to create and add notes to point data, creating linear data and use of the measuring tool, creating polygons and use of the area measurement tools. Put together a layered view of different feature layers, such as section lines, rivers, highways and county boundaries in a given geographical area; how to download and access data available on the internet; and how to print a map. This course is for beginners, and will walk through the basic steps needed to use this software. Feel free to come even if you know a bit about ArcView, as you will be able to ask questions, get help and tips for using ArcView, and create your own shapefiles and map. Participants will leave with a printed map and the digital files created during the day. Bring your own jump drive to load them on. The hands-on workshop guides you through each step, and you will complete each at your own computer station in the lab.
Walt Epley from the Sociology Water Lab at Colorado State University is the instructor for the course. Walt has extensive experience in using GIS for many ditch and reservoir companies in Colorado. He will be able to use these real world applications in the class exercises.
Key opportunities to be presented during this course:
- Hands-on introduction to ArcView GIS 3.3;
- Data collection and database construction for ditch companies;
- Shapefile creation and usage for ditch companies; and
- Map creation for ditch company office personnel.
Lunch and refreshments are included. Attendees each receive a workshop binder with all of the handout materials and a CD with all of your sample files. Ditch company superintendents, board members, water commissioners, engineers and water professionals will all benefit from the training
Workstations will be provided in the computer lab but if you are more comfortable with your own laptop, please bring it. Limit: 30 attendees.
The GIS II workshop is sponsored by: The Department of Civil Engineering at Colorado State University, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, Leonard Rice Engineers, Inc., and Aqua Engineering Inc.
