Knowledge and skills in the use of software and hardware is necessary for GIS and Planning students. Many tasks and projects require exposure to geo-processing tools, covering a wide range of decision-making situations and application areas, such as urban and regional planning, environmental management, agriculture, engineering, land and resource management, etc. It is therefore imperative that students and professionals acquire hands-on experience in the use and application of GIS software and hardware.

The course is intended to provide students with basic to intermediate skills in the use of industry-standard software and hardware being used in spatial science, particularly on geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing. The delivery will focus on the hands-on approach and applications-oriented project done in an inter-disciplinary group that will cover urban and regional planning, environmental management, agriculture, engineering, etc. It will cover computer lab exercises, workshops, group work, and project presentations.

This course contains a mandatory residential school.

On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

1. use geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing software and hardware to comprehend key underpinning geo-spatial concepts and principles at an intermediate level of technical skill;
2. apply software and hardware skills, as well as knowledge of planning concepts and methods, to process geospatial and non-spatial data for planning, management and decision-making within a regional and rural context;
3. present project results at a broad and coherent level of communication and presentation skills;
4. work within a team to cogently and coherently apply systematic approaches for the conduct and management of spatial science projects in a regional and rural context;
5. demonstrate an appreciation of appropriate safety procedures and workplace health and safety requirements.
