Course Objectives		The students will gain the skills of basic theory and practice on GIS. Students will understand spatial data and relevant conceptual theories. Within this context, design and implementation of a GIS that is compatible with national and international standards will be performed, where after achieving this students will be capable of integrating the theory and practice, and understand the potential of GIS for solving multi-disciplinary applications.
Course Description		The course incorporates rapidly developing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) theory and applications. This course, being the first within the GIS package, fundamentals of GIS, methods, data modeling, analyses, visualization and project management themes are covered. In addition to these fundamental concepts, problems and alternative solutions for spatial data handling, conceptual data modeling, spatial data analyses and GIS project management consistent with national and international standards is covered.
Course Outcomes		Students who complete this course successfully 1 Explains the concepts of GIS, spatial data and spatial database. 2 Elaborates on vector and raster data structure and differentiate data structure usage within application. 3 Identifies and selects the adequate acquisition and processing methodology for spatial data production of Geomatics Engineering applications. 4 Designs and implements the spatial conceptual data model and the GIS considering the Geomatics Engineering and other disciplines requirements. 5 Organizes and integrates data that are compatible with national and international standards. 6 Understands the spatial query and analyses and applies them to the relevant study field. 7 Reports the results of GIS analyses according to the application requirements.
