GIS and Surveying in Civil Engineering

Catalog description

This course discusses the fundamental concepts of geographic information system (GIS) at different scales and resolutions. Spatial analysis methods and software are used to solve problems with data collected in the field and other sources. GIS and surveying topics are presented in the same context. The course is complemented with a database development and analysis lab that includes remote sensing data, basic and differential GPS, and traditional surveying to prepare students for today’s growing business needs in the civil engineering industry.
