Geographic Information Systems
... A specialization in Geospatial Technology
What rapidly expanding technology is integral to nearly every industry, business and government service? Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
This technology enables you to gather data, integrate it into computer systems and analyze it to help an organization make better, more informed decisions.
As a student majoring in TSTC Waco's Geographic Information Systems, you can learn about GPS—a satellite positioning system that can allow you to determine latitude, longitude, and altitude, as well as speed, direction, and length of time to destinations. You can also learn about GIS—mapping software you can use to analyze data by GPS locations.
Professionals in this field gather and manipulate data vital to businesses, industries and nearly all government entities. All these sectors benefit from GPS/GIS information, resulting in a demand for technicians to fill these high-tech jobs—jobs now opening up in nearly every sector of employment.
