GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY

Class XII / SUBJECT CODE (818)
Geospatial technology is an umbrella phrase associated with a range of various technologies which include remote sensing, GPS, GIS, IT, and field sensors, that are intended to facilitate the process of capturing/storing/ processing/ displaying/ disseminating information tied to a location

Course Objective

In this course, the students will be introduced to the fundamental concepts of Geospatial Technology and the career opportunities available in this field. This vocational course offers professional education dealing with mapping and Geospatial production to ensure that students obtain insight into Geospatial database concepts, creating and implementing database, spatial analysis, developing GIS applications, through both theoretical concepts and supported by extensive practical exercise with hands-on training using Geomatica industry standard software.

Course Features

Geospatial technology is perhaps the only technology that can provide a holistic approach to the understanding of the interactions and inter-linkages between the earth’s biophysical and social elements to strike an optimal balance between developmental and environmental goals.

Geographic information has application in practically all walks of human existence.
