Lab Project #3 - Multiple Criteria Query





The goal in this lab was to show my skills in creating and using query expressions to obtain specific pieces of data from databases. The main skills I used in this lab included using Boolean expressions to create multiple queries, executing spatial queries in conjunction with attribute queries, and mapping the results of these queries with other data. The resulst was five different maps that show different data I extracted from databases to show specified information.

Lab Project #2 - Downloading & Mapping GIS Data

The goal in this lab project was to show that I know how to obtain GIS and other data from a web source that can be analysed for use with a project. The methods I used in this lab included downloading census data from the US Census Bureau, downloading a shapefile of Census Boundaries, joining the data and shapefiles, mapping the data, downloading and mapping another variable of my choice, and building a layout showing both maps. The map on the left is showing the population in Wisconsin by County, while the map on the right is showing the population of only 20-24 year-olds in Wisconsin by County.
