GIS for Bachelor’s of Engineering

• Analyze GIS data structures and algorithms, and assess and optimize their suitability for specific geospatial problems.
• Collect, manipulate and analyze spatial data
• Integrate and evaluate data from Danish geodatabases for advanced vector and raster analyses.
• Design and implement basic GIS applications with specific requirements for geospatial data and functionality.
• Combine and adapt geometric operations in vector and raster for complex spatial analyses.
• Develop and communicate maps with geospatial analyses for various purposes and audiences.
• Develop models to automize analysis using Model Designer
• Create queries on spatial data

Introduction to GIS
Data types and data structures
Geodata – Sources, formats and quality assurance of geospatial data.

Data collection
• Digitization – basic methods for digitization
• Creation of data layers for vector data with attribute tables
• Creation of projects with forms for data collection
• Collection / editing of data with GPS on mobile phone
• Processing drone data for orthophoto, surface model and point cloud
• Georeferencing

Visualization of geodata
• Symbolizing vector, raster and point cloud data
• Setting up layout for maps and posters

Geoprocessing and Expressions
• Use of geoprocessing tools such as: Buffer, Clip, Difference, Intersection etc.
• Use of expressions in: Selections, labels, symbology, field- and raster calculator

Model designer

Raster data
• Simple calculations of indices with satellite data
• Export raster data
• Clip raster data with vector data
• Calculate slope and aspect on terrain data
• Raster calculation for volume
