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.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    Attendance  at  a minimum of 80% of practical and/or  residential
     school  sessions is compulsory for a passing grade to be  awarded
     in  this unit.  All set assessment reports must be submitted  for
     grading.
2    The  only final grades awarded in this unit are Pass (P) or  Fail
     (F) grades.
3    Students  are  to  retain a verbatim copy of all assignment  work
     submitted, for submission in the event that the original is  lost
     or damaged.
4    If  students  submit  any assessment report after  its  due  date
     without  prior  approval then a penalty  of  up  to  20%  of  the
     assignment total marks will apply for each working day late.
5    The   Faculty  of  Engineering  and  Surveying  will  NOT  accept
     submission  of  hand written or typed assignments  by  facsimile,
     email  or computer diskette. Students in remote locations who  do
     not  have regular access to postal services may be given  special
     consideration.
6    In  the event that a due date for an assignment falls on a  local
     public  holiday  in their area, such as a Show holiday,  the  due
     date  for  the assignment will be the next day. Students  are  to
     note  on the assignment cover the date of the public holiday  for
     the Unit Leader's convenience.
7    A  minimum  standard of communication skills must be demonstrated
