ENCE 301 - Geo-Metrics and GIS in Civil Engineering

Fall Semester 2007

Dr. Glenn E. Moglen

Description: The purpose of this course is to have students develop skills in using GIS technology to solve a range of problems in Civil and Environmental Engineering. The course begins with a rigorous unit on the basics of database organization and use. The course then presents GIS concepts emphasizing the linkage between a standard relational database and the spatially-referenced database underlying the GIS. Both raster and vector data models are presented and used in a variety of natural applications to Civil and Environmental Engineering. Students are also exposed to scripting which aids in the development of more elaborate analyses and reinforces object-oriented programming concepts learned in ENCE 200/201.
