Geographic Information Systems
Academic Year 2024/25
BRA011 course is part of 1 study plan
BPC-MI Winter Semester 4th year
Course will provide information on available tools and possibilities of using geographic information systems (GIS) in urban engineering. GIS is a powerful tool for managing, analyzing and presenting data with a wide range of applications in this field. Students will gain knowledge and practical skills in the following areas:
- the possibility of using GIS in urban engineering,
- hardware and software for GIS,
- input data for GIS in urban engineering,
- management of input data, data models,
- GIS analysis tools,
- presentation of the results of analyzes, map creation.

Aims
The goals of the course are:
to teach the principles and operation of geographic information systems;
to show how spatial hydrologic modeling can be done by developing a digital representation of the environment in the GIS, then adding functions simulating hydrologic processes;
to develop individual experience in the use of GIS in water management through execution of a term project.
Student complete goal of this course which include developing individual experience in the use of GIS in water management through execution of a term project.
