ArcGIS software suite• ArcGIS desktop (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene,
ArcGlobe, and ArcToolbox)– Tools for GIS users to manage geographic data, make
spatial analysis, and produce maps.• ArcGIS Engine– Components for GIS developers to make customized
desktop applications.• ArcGIS Server– Tools for GIS professionals to publish geospatial data on
the Internet. Components for GIS developers to make web-based applications.
• We only use ArcGIS desktop in this class
ArcGIS desktop-- ArcCatalog
• organizing, browsing, and managing geographic data.
ArcGIS desktop-- ArcToolbox
• A set of tools for data processing, analysis, and conversion.

the principles on the instruction material).
Notes
• Read the instruction material carefully before doing the lab.
• Do NOT use space in the file or folder names– Use “yingjiehu” instead of “yingjie hu”. If you
really want to separate the words in your folder name, you can use “yingjie_hu”.
