J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College
Database Fundamentals (ITD 130)
Introduces the student to relational databases and relational database theory. Includes planning, defining, and using a database; table design, linking, and normalization; and types of databases, database description, and definition. Additional topics cover the use of Entity Relationship (ER) modeling in detail through many real-life examples and practical business problems and solutions. After several iterations, the ER model captures the data requirements and business rules and forms a sound basis for the initial design of a relational database. The introduction to SQL allows for the implementation of a database design using SQL.
Structured Query Language (T-SQL) (ITD 132)
Incorporates a working introduction to commands, functions, and operators used in SQL for extracting data from standard databases. Provides students with hands-on experience developing code, functions, triggers, and stored procedures for SQL Server 2012.
Java Programming I (ITP 120)
Teaches the fundamentals of object-oriented programming using Java. Emphasizes program construction, algorithm development, coding, debugging, and documentation of console and graphical user interface applications.
Statistics (MTH 240)
Presents an overview of statistics, including descriptive statistics, elementary probability, probability distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, and correlation and regression.
Applied Calculus (MTH 270)
Introduces limits, continuity, differentiation and integration of algebraic and transcendental functions, techniques of integration, and partial differentiation.
Web Page Design I (ITD 110)
Stresses a working knowledge of web site designs, construction, and management using HTML or XHTML and Dreamweaver CS3. Includes headings, lists, links, images, image maps, tables, forms, and frames.
C# Programming I (ITP 136)
Teaches the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and design using C#. Emphasizes program construction, algorithm development, coding, debugging, and documentation of applications within the .NET Framework.
Visual Basic.NET I (ITP 112)
Concentrates on instruction in fundamentals of object-oriented programming using Visual Basic.NET and the .NET framework. Emphasizes program construction, algorithm development, coding, debugging, and documentation of graphical user interface applications.

Basics of Raster Data (for ArcGIS 10)
This course teaches the various fundamental concepts of the raster data model, such as the various uses and sources of raster data, getting information about a particular dataset, and the visualization of raster data in ArcMap.
Creating 3D Data Using ArcGIS 10
This course covers creating and modifying triangulated irregular network (TIN) surfaces based on contours and elevation values in two-dimensional data and deriving three-dimensional feature classes from an elevation raster. Also taught are the modeling of abrupt changes in slope (e.g., those representing cliffs, shorelines, or man-made features) and creating multipatch features and calculating their volumes.
Deriving Rasters for Terrain Analysis Using ArcGIS 10
Covers deriving contour lines and slope and aspect surfaces, as well as viewsheds, from raster data, as well as identifying locations that meet slope, aspect, and elevation criteria.
Displaying Raster Data Using ArcGIS 10
Covers symbology for rasters, bands in multispectral imagery, various techniques for improving display speed, and the use of statistics for for enhancing raster display.
Getting Started with GIS (for ArcGIS 9.2-9.3)
This course covers querying GIS databases, displaying data on a map, spatial relationships among real-world features, creating new data by means of analysis tools, and applying a standard approach to solving geographic problems.
3D Analysis of Surfaces and Features Using ArcGIS 10
Topics in this course include analyzing the visual impact of features by means of skylines and skyline barriers; modeling runoff, drainage, and cost paths; visualizing elevation changes by means of profile graphs; and detecting and qualifying change by calculating volumetric differences between surfaces.
