Course Description
In this course you will develop the skills and knowledge required to develop two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) visualisations in a geographic information system (GIS) or computer-aided design (CAD) context. This includes the application of specialised technical and conceptual skills and a broad knowledge of spatial datasets. The course also includes the development of technical documentation incorporating mapping and scientific techniques.
This course is suitable for surveyors who use broad theoretical and technical knowledge to analyse information as well as interpret and provide solutions to unpredictable and sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems. The course supports those who work in a technical management role in a spatial information services team in areas such as cartography, town planning, mapping and GIS.
