Brief description of the module and content
This module asserts that the best way to achieve solution of real problem starts with identifying spatially critical source of it. The module recognizes the relevant attitude, knowledge and skills that all students need to outperform in real problem solving in geospatial atmosphere. It is designed to establish the strong basis for innovative problem identification and solving with introduction to important remote sensing and GIS technology. As the program requires students to spend much of their time thinking spatially about problems stressing the world, there is guarantee that they will be capable to apply such technology outside of classroom in environmental related problem solving. Consequently, they built a building block of knowledge and skills necessary to meet requirements of challenging professional life.
The module intends to strengthen students in physical geospatial problem solving by providing them with relevant remote sensing and Geographical information system (GIS) knowledge and skills so that they can highly and well perform in community.
Consequently, students will learn both hardware and software requirements for remotely sensed data management/analysis, modelling, visualization and communication. The topics that will be covered among others are Remotely sensed data for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis and applications, Basic GIS operations and commercial GIS software packages.
