- LEARNING OUTCOMES
| Learning Outcomes | |
| Please describe the learning outcomes of the course: Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired after the successful completion of the course. | |
| The course’s main objective is to make the student understand the processes used to insert, capture, edit, and analyze spatial and descriptive information. Upon completion of the course, students should be able to demonstrate:
1. Ability to recognize the context and benefits of implementing a GIS project (forest and environmental sector). 2. Understanding the possibilities of exporting information about the forest / natural environment from geographical data. 3. Ability to process geographical data 4. Ability to design and apply the methodological steps needed for a forest / natural environment project using GIS. 5. Ability to present results derived from a GIS analysis. 6. Ability to implement a project using GIS. |
