SYNOPSIS:

This unit is project based, integrating GIS, photogrammetry and remote
sensing,  cadastral surveying and GPS tasks with student's theoretical
knowledge  to  provide practical and application  skills  relevant  to
workplace environments.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this unit students will be able
to:

1. Describe and operate an industry standard GIS software
   package.
   
2. Understand the various stages and processes involved in
   establishing a small GIS.
   
3. Undertake a small GIS project including the design, capture,
   analysis and output of final results.
   
4. Present the results of GIS projects in a professional manner.
   
5. Undertake remote sensing data analysis.
   
6. Undertake basic photogrammetric data analysis using analogue
   analytical and digital photogrammetric techniques.
   
7. Apply practical cadastral methods to solving cadastral
   surveying problems.
   
8. Apply practical GPS methods and analysis to solving coordinate
   control problems.
   
9. Report on identified activities undertaken during the
   residential school.
