  1. 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 aim of the course is to help students acquire a solid theoretical and practical background for the design, development, and practical application of Geoinformatics methods and techniques in spatial design. With the use of Geoinformatics students will take advantage of IT technologies for collecting, organizing, processing, analyzing, and managing data with geographic information in digital form.

Students will familiarize themselves with the drawing instruments (in the traditional way) in order to learn where and how to use them and will get acquainted with related design techniques. In addition, students will be able to use computers, the modern drawing mediums, in design and drafting applications.  Upon completion of the course, students will:

·        have a thorough grounding in the methods, means, and rules for creating and editing a topographic plan in a digital environment

·        be familiar with reading and interpreting a drawing as well as its corresponding uses

be able to make use of and work on computer-aided design and drafting software packages, such as AutoCAD, SketchUp etc.
