This standard two-day ESRI-authorized course, performed for 14 FDOT employees, involved the review of several concepts and components of ArcGIS software through lecture, followed by a hands-on exercise. The objective of this training course was to provide attendees with a working knowledge of the ESRI desktop GIS package, ArcGIS, specifically in comparison with the earlier version of their desktop package, ArcView 3x. Participants were introduced to the ArcGIS GUI and used its components to create, edit, display, query, and analyze geographic and tabular data, and to create presentation-quality maps and charts. > Back to Top

This standard two-day ESRI-authorized course, performed for 14 FDOT employees, outlined basic GIS concepts using ArcGIS functionality and enabled participants to quickly take advantage of the software’s powerful display and analysis capabilities. The objective of this training course was to provide attendees with a working knowledge of the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) desktop GIS package, ArcGIS. Participants were introduced to the ArcGIS graphical user interface and used its components to create, edit, display, query, and analyze geographic and tabular data, and to create presentation-quality maps and charts. > Back to Top

This two-day custom course was developed for advanced GIS users in the Department. It provided up to fourteen (14) FDOT staff with a conceptual overview and hands-on experience using ArcGIS software. The course taught advanced ArcGIS functionality geared specifically toward transportation analysis. Participants were introduced to advanced ArcGIS functionality to create, edit, display, query, and analyze geographic and tabular data, and to create presentation-quality maps and charts. This course was not an Authorized ESRI Training Course, but a custom course developed specifically for the needs of the Florida Department of Transportation. In addition to the training, custom ArcGIS course manuals and materials were developed and provided to the client. > Back to Top

This two-day training course was a combination of ESRI authorized training with custom sessions created specifically for the needs of a local engineering firm. In addition to performing the training session, Grimail Crawford developed the training materials for discussion. Exercises and lecture materials were compiled from ESRI training materials and tutorials, and were supplemented with additional information in some sections. Participants were introduced to the ArcGIS GUI and used its components to create, edit, display, query, and analyze geographic and tabular data, and to create presentation-quality maps and charts. > Back to Top

This course was a custom course created specifically for the needs of a local engineering firm. Grimail Crawford developed the training materials for discussion based on exercises from the standard ArcGIS books ( e.g. Using ArcMap, Editing in ArcMap, Using ArcCatalog, and Building a Geodatabase). In addition, lecture materials were developed exclusively for this course. > Back to Top

This three-day custom course was developed for nine Hillsborough County staff to provide the fundamentals of GIS as well as a thorough understanding of ArcINFO software. In this course, ArcINFO command line language and techniques were used to create, edit, display, query, and analyze geographic and tabular data, and to create presentation-quality maps. Both lecture materials and exercises were developed using, where possible, local datasets in order to cement understanding and familiarity of the course materials. > Back to Top

Grimail Crawford participated in a district-wide User Needs Assessment for the Florida Department of Transportation. This 5-month project identified the client’s GIS needs by describing the programmatic responsibilities and the information products required to support those responsibilities. The assessment illustrated areas of opportunity to integrate the client’s GIS needs into an overall enterprise GIS development effort. The assessment led to the creation of four broad strategies to incorporate into a District component of the FDOT’s enterprise GIS. > Back to Top
