Get a look at the pillars shaping this course.
While development is still underway, these highlights offer an early look at the skills and outcomes you’ll be working toward:
Explore how to operate popular spatial data science libraries like ArcPy, ArcGIS API for Python, and GeoPandas to perform real-world geospatial analysis.
Learn to write and adapt Python code in both proprietary and open-source environments, gaining flexible skills that translate across tools and industries.
Work with commercial and open tools to convert, manage, and prepare datasets for use in advanced spatial workflows, visualization, and analysis.
Build confidence in your ability to read, edit, and improve code manually or through AI assistance, while reinforcing best practices for clarity and structure.
"This course is being developed to give learners the tools they need to work effectively with both commercial and open Python libraries for spatial data science. It bridges the gap between foundational knowledge and applied coding by emphasizing real-world problem-solving. Students will gain hands-on experience writing and refining code using ArcGIS (with ArcPy) and GeoPandas, two leading platforms in commercial and open-source geospatial data science widely adopted across government, environmental, and location intelligence sectors. which prepares them to be versatile and job-ready. I'm excited to help learners unlock the full potential of Python in geospatial technology."
