Course details

The Remote Sensing and GIS course introduces the principles of acquiring, processing, and analyzing spatial data for engineering and planning applications. It explains how satellite and aerial imagery are used alongside Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to capture, manage, analyze, and visualize geographic information. The course builds a strong foundation in spatial data concepts and their role in modern infrastructure and environmental projects.

The course covers the fundamentals of remote sensing, including sensors, platforms, and image interpretation, along with core GIS concepts such as spatial data models, map projections, and spatial analysis techniques. Emphasis is placed on practical applications in urban planning, transportation, water resources, environmental monitoring, and disaster management, enabling learners to understand how geospatial technologies support data-driven decision-making.
