Spatial Analysis & Management in GIS (SUG 335) Syllabus Notes

   This syllabus will expose  to various types of data analysis available in GIS and how GIS can be used as analytical modeling tools to solve various applications. It will provide the understanding on various data of analysis types and operations available in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as well as the differences between analysis based on vector and raster data. Additionally, it also may gives a general idea of how analytical modeling can be carried out in GIS and the way the spatial model can be used in various applications. This might help on how a GIS project be designed and managed.

Geodetic Studies (SUG 270) Syllabus Notes

What is Geodesy?

     Geodesy is the science of the measurement and mapping of the earth’s surface as well as concerned with the exact positioning of points on the surface of the Earth. It also involves the study of variations of the Earth’s gravity, the application of these variations to exact measurements on the Earth, and the study of the exact size and shape of the Earth. Geodesy plays an active role in the geomatics that includes the disciplines of land surveying, photogrammetry, remote sensing, hydrographic surveying, cartography, engineering surveying, geographic information science, and geospatial computing.
