Course Name GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATIONS SYSTEMS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING

1
Course Code BFG 40803

This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts, features, and

capabilities of GIS. The focus of this course is to learn the usefulness of GIS in
solving problems in various civil and environmental engineering disciplines. Also to
develop basic skills of using GIS software for problem solving. Students are trained
2 Synopsis to become familiar in usage of ESRI ArcGIS software through the project. The
course will require the completion of a series of homework assignments, some of
which will be part of a mini team project that solves a selected civil engineering or
environmental engineering problem.
