1. Course Description:
This course is designed for specific applications of theoretical aspects of the previous course of
Surveying-I. Furthermore, it includes the topics of advanced mapping techniques, spatial data analysis,
remote sensing applications, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The course is developed for
the application of modern survey and mapping techniques in civil infrastructure projects.
Surveying-I is the prerequisite of this course.
