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.
