The Introduction of Course ---Geographical Information System (GIS)
GIS is a major optional course in the college of computer science and technology. this course is provided for the need of the computer application talents in geoscience system field, which is a practical courses.
Through this course, students will learn:
1 . Master essential conception, function, characteristic and composition of GIS.
2. Master spatial data, data type, data structure, data transformation, data management of spatial features in GIS.
3 . Master mainly function in spatial analysis and query of GIS.
4 . Understanding product output, development and construction of GIS, master the structure of software related in MapGIS.
5 . Pay attention to train and practical abilities, training and improve students' ability in analyzing and solving problems by combining theory with practice, so that after the students finishing this course, enhance the understanding of practice and set up computer application technology of practical ability.
The contents of the course include spatial data processing, the data structure and spatial database of GIS , the principle and method of GIS spatial data distribution, GIS application models，GIS design and evaluation and the output design of GIS.
Study of this course makes the students master the capacity of the mass spatial data management and the secondary development of the related function in the GIS platform, and then it can provide the computer technology support for resource management, regional planning, land monitoring and government aided decision.
