Remote Monitoring Techniques for Civil Engineering Applications. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course covers the basic physics and applications of remote sensing, remote sensing systems (satellite, airborne, and ground-based), and atmospheric radiative transfer. The course focuses on remote sensing techniques as a tool for engineering practices and presents an exhaustive plethora of remote sensing applications for problem solving in civil, environmental, and infrastructure engineering. Examples include (but are not limited to) regional planning and site investigation, terrain mapping and urban infrastructure development, water resources engineering, transportation network analysis, landslide analysis, flood monitoring, and bridge inspection. Offered by Civil, Environ & Infrastr Engr . May not be repeated for credit.
