Course Description
Geo Technology 1 introduces learners to the basic principles, tools, and applications of geospatial technologies used in surveying, mapping, construction, environmental management, and land development. The course provides foundational knowledge in geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), and basic surveying techniques.
Learners are introduced to methods of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting geographic and spatial data for practical use in engineering, construction, agriculture, urban planning, and environmental studies. The module combines theoretical instruction with practical field and computer-based exercises to develop technical competence in handling geospatial information.
Emphasis is placed on accuracy, data collection procedures, map interpretation, safety during fieldwork, and the use of modern geotechnology equipment and software.
