GIS Coordination
October 08- October 12 \ 2023 : Dubai
Introduction
A coordinate system is responsible for ensuring your features display in the right location. You will learn practical guidelines for solving challenges as well as techniques to correct problems caused by unknown and missing coordinate system information.
Knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an increasingly sought after skill in industries from agriculture to public health. This Specialization, offered in partnership with ArcGIS developer Esri, will teach the skills you need to successfully use GIS software in a professional setting. You will learn how to analyze your spatial data, use cartography techniques to communicate your results in maps, and collaborate with peers in GIS and GIS-dependent fields. In the final Capstone Project, you will create a professional-quality GIS portfolio piece using a combination of data identification and collection, analytical map development, and spatial analysis techniques
Objectives
At the end of this course the participants will be able to:
Þ Define coordinate system information for feature classes.
Þ Correct data misalignments caused by datum differences.
Þ Assess whether a particular datum transformation is optimal for the data being mapped.
Þ Create and work with raster data.
Þ Develop and analyze data for the geospatial analysis project.
Þ Develop a large processing workflow in Model Builder.
Þ Interpret and explain the results you obtained in comparison to your original GIS question and/or hypothesis.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Ü Engineers
Ü Architects
Ü Contractors
Ü Anyone who has a desire to explore the application of GIS in their fields
Course Methodology
The course uses self-assessments and a wide mix of business cases that promote healthy discussions around the importance of managing multiple tasks, deadlines and priorities. Participants will benefit from role plays covering workplace challenges related to handling tasks, deadlines and priorities. They will learn how to deal with conflicts that may arise as a result. Interactive team exercises are also used with each team presenting their findings and comments.
Each module covers different aspects of using Game-Based Learning and Gamification in education. Coursework will incorporate your existing knowledge and experience and provide helpful learning environment with a good mix of theoretical and practical knowledge. On all outlines will apply Skills for Game-Based Learning and Gamification and practiced in hands-on, collaborative way within an international group setting.
