GIS Management Issues (one day)

This course introduces the top management, department heads and projects managers as well as technical staff from all levels to key management issues that need to be addressed when dealing with GIS data, staff and projects. The course provides the attendees with an overview of the key management issues that affect the design, development, implementation and use of GIS. Such issues include setting up an enterprise level spatial database, conducting GIS needs assessment, writing and responding to requests for proposals (RFP), GIS projects implementation, Spatial data and metadata standards, data sharing and data warehousing, legal aspects of spatial data use, and web-based GIS.

 

Introduction to Remote Sensing using ERDAS Imagine (4 days)

This course provides an overview of the fundamental principles of remote sensing and satellite image analysis using ERDAS Imagine. In particular, the course focuses on the understanding and the use of satellite images in different applications. The course emphases on: the physical principles of remote sensing, remote sensing data acquisition, airborne and satellite platforms, image interpretation, image rectification and registration, image enhancement, image classification, and remote sensing applications in mapping, marine, transportation and environmental engineering.

 

Introduction to Surveying using GNSS (4 days)

This course introduces the participants from all levels to the concept and fundamentals of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It provides theoretical background on recent developments of GPS in precise surveying and monitoring applications, the concept of GNSS reference networks, examples of international projects in agriculture, construction, cadastre and environmental monitoring. The course also provides the participants with a theoretical overview of the existing satellite systems, main error sources on GNSS measurements and different measuring methods.
In a two-day practical training, the participants would then learn in the field how to build up a base station and to measure different points with a roving unit on various places with high accuracy. More important, they will learn how to plan the surveying process and how to explore the study area. The course concludes with one-day hands-on training on the GNSS data preparation with a surveying & engineering software after data collection in the field and the data transfer into ArcGIS.
