Overview
Use of GIS, GPS, Survey and Remotely-sensed data integrated with predictive models for infrastructure management systems.
Academic objective: To introduce the students to the fundamental concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the learning of the ARCGIS® computer program and its applications to solve civil, environmental and ocean engineering problems. After taking this class, the students should be able to: (1) interact with other engineers, with proper use of the terminology, in projects that involve GIS; (2) understand the concept of map projections and their use in ArcGIS; (3) conduct geospatial analysis with vector data in ArcGIS; (4) conduct geospatial analysis with raster data in ArcGIS; and (5) delineate stream networks and watersheds in ArcGIS.
International enhancement: The learning of these concepts will take place in a different cultural frame of reference, which will expose the students to different ways in which people live their life and engineers practice the profession. Like many other countries, Singapore is a land of contrasts. As a result, customs and traditions, food and dances, are discernibly different in the different parts of the country. This exposure to a different cultural frame of reference will give the students elements to recognize better between global and local, as well as between natural and social principles and beliefs. Students will be exposed to these cultural differences through day or multi-day technical/cultural excursions within and/or outside Singapore.
