This course introduces the principles and applications of photogrammetry, focusing on how photographic images can be used to measure and analyze physical objects and environments. Students will learn about the science behind photogrammetry, explore various techniques (including drone photogrammetry), and apply software tools to create maps, 3D models, and other spatial products. This course emphasizes practical applications in mapping, construction, urban planning, and environmental monitoring.
This course introduces students to Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a powerful technology that helps us analyze and visualize spatial data. You’ll explore core GIS concepts, learn to use GIS software, and apply these skills to solve real-world problems across fields like urban planning, environmental science, public health, and resource management. By the end, you’ll be equipped to leverage GIS for mapping, analysis, and data-driven decision-making.
This course invites you into the world of maps – from understanding how they’re crafted to using them as powerful tools for communication. You’ll explore the visual, technical, and ethical sides of mapmaking, and build hands-on skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and thematic mapping. Whether you’re interested in geography, urban planning, environmental science, or just fascinated by the stories maps tell, this course offers a deep dive into what makes maps meaningful and impactful.
