AGSC 3570 - Geospatial Metadata (3)
Data make up the most expensive component of a GIS and account for billions of dollars of expenditures annually. Metadata is data about data. It documents critical information about the data and the procedures used to create and maintain the data. This course explains metadata and its components, and teaches GIS users the how and why of documenting their data. Methodology and standards will follow the Federal Geographic Data Committee’s Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata and will conform to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure. Prerequisite(s): AGSC 2510 .

AGSC 3590 - Spatial Landscape Design and Analysis (3)
Modern landscape design is a blend of science, art, and technology. Utilizing the spatial tools provided by a GIS brings a new level of visualization and analysis of the landscape environment to the designer. This course introduces students to the principles and concepts of landscape design and analysis, and introduces the tools (CAD, GPS, and GIS) needed for successful landscape development and management. Prerequisite(s): AGSC 2510 , AGSC 3550 .

AGSC 3690 - Principles of Food Engineering and Processing (3)
This course focuses on engineering principles relevant to food processing operations. The introductory material covers units and dimensions used in process calculations as well as physical properties of food materials that are important in mass and energy balances. Mass and energy balances are reviewed for different types of food processing operations: batch and continuous, steady/ and unsteady/state systems. The second half of the course examines transport phenomena: fluid flow, heat and mass transfer. Through lectures, tutorials and problem/solving exercises, students will learn to analyze food processing systems and use basic engineering design equations. Students will also be introduced to advanced food processing technologies. The course is designed for undergraduate students in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences in (Concentration Food Bioscience and Technology). Prerequisite(s): AGSC 3500 , MATH 1110 & CHEM 1110, 1111 .
