My GIS Certificate from the EES Department of UTA covers the four following classes:
1. Geographic Information Systems
2. Analysis of Spatial Data
3. Remote Sensing Fundamentals
4. Geographic Data Analysis
The software and applications I used are as follows:
 ArcGIS 10.2
 ArcMap
 ArcScene
 ArcGlobe
 ArcCatalog
 ArcGIS Online Platform
 ESRI Online Platform
 ArcGIS Spatial Analyst
 ArcGIS 3D Analyst
 ArcGIS ModelBuilder
 Google Earth
The concepts that I learned are as follows:
 Data management
 Data editing
 Geocoding
 Spatial Analysis
 Spatial Modeling
 3D Mapping and Visualization
 Complete Map Building
 Projection and Coordinate Systems
 GIS Layers (creating and editing)
 Attribute Statistics
 3D Analysis
 Remotes Sensing
 Topographical Surface Analysis
 Spatial Statistics
 Image Analysis
 Classifications
 Geodatabases (creating and editing)
 Python Scripting
 SQL Querying
The data that I used are as follows:

 GPS data
 Raster
 Feature class
 TINs
 layer files
 ESRI data
 LiDAR data
 Hyperspectral, Thermal, and
Multispectral Remote Sensing Data
 DSM files
My final project allowed me to create raster data, layer data, feature classes, and DSM files from
one set of LiDAR data. I also learned how to use Google Earth as a basemap.
The statistics that I employed were area estimations, solar radiation modeling, and PV potential
for the UTA campus.
