FANR3800 – Fall 2022 ESRI Lesson Plan –
NOTE: The weekly ESRI.COM/TRAINING modules provide information relevant to the topics we review during lecture and hands-on practice using ArcPro to address the topics we talk about in class. It is my expectation that you complete these each week.
Week Objectives are to:
- ensure that you can write queries to select records based on one and multiple attributes
- understand the basic characteristics of the geographic Lat/Long (WGS84), and the projected (UTM) coordinate systems
- consider when you might use the NAD 1983 datum and when you might use the WGS 1984 datum
- know how to select an appropriate coordinate system for a GIS project anywhere in the world
Concepts reinforced in this week’s lab exercise:
- add field to attribute table
- calculate geometry (X and Y coordinates)
- set View’s coordinate system
