Learning and

Teaching strategies

Assessment strategies

CO1: Candidates will able to learn how to arrange and manage the remote sensing Data.  CO2:  They will learn about the errors is GIS and linking of spatial and non Spatial data and attributes handling. 

CO3: Candidates will able to analyse the spatial data , it’s overlaying, and interpolation methods including network and suitability analysis.  CO4: this unit will learn to check the coordinates using GPS and familiarise with GPS receivers.  CO5: Students will learn to use single and Relative point receivers for collection of ground points.
