This course focuses on the critical role of managing knowledge in organizations today. It shows how KM technologies work to strengthen the effectiveness of an organization and how KM perspective is contributing to the understanding of management in a knowledge society under high-level of uncertainty and complexity. Topics include knowledge creation and transfer, tacit and explicit knowledge, KM strategy preparation, and CRM & SCM projects creation using KM. Prerequisite: Junior Standing. Mission The mission of the Geographic Information System (GIS) program is to educate students in the principles and practices of computing with focus on geospatial knowledge and applications. The program prepares students for graduate school and careers in geospatial or IT-related fields. Program Educational Objectives GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) • To prepare GIS graduates to effectively use their geospatial knowledge as a research tool, a decision-making tool, data analysis tool, and/or as a planning tool in large varieties of disciplines; • To prepare GIS graduates for professional careers in GIS and remote sensing in roles including, but not limited to: application development, data production, and data analysis; • To equip GIS graduates with the knowledge and skills to conduct advanced studies and research in remote sensing, environmental studies, geomatics, and related disciplines; • To prepare GIS graduates with the communication and interpersonal skills to function and communicate effectively individually and within multidisciplinary teams; and • To prepare graduates to identify and analyze legal, ethical, and social concerns associated with the GIS fields. THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS)* Learning Outcomes All graduating GIS majors shall: • Demonstrate a good practical background in computing, mathematics, and statistics with a focus on geospatial knowledge and applications; • Demonstrate strong knowledge of the fundamental theories and concepts upon which the GIS technology is built; • Demonstrate problem solving skills through spatial thinking and analysis. • Produce cartographic maps; • Demonstrate proficiency in remote sensing and related analysis; • Demonstrate programming competence using modern programming languages; • Demonstrate good knowledge of computer networking concepts and show a good practical experie
