Programs PG
Session Fall Semester 2016
Course Title Advanced Geographical Information System
Course Code GIS 801
Credit Hours 2 + 1
Pre-Requisutes
Course Objectives This course will familiarize students with advanced topics of spatial database accuracy assessment, 2D and 3D spatial modeling, analysis of discrete and continuous entities in space. There will be special emphasis on statistical analysis of spatial data. Students will be trained to develop models based on regression analysis and logical analysis. Students will also learn customization and automation in GIS and also learn techniques to put the GIS on to Internet.
