Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

If you have work experience or studies on some other GIS software, please discuss alternative ways to do the course with the teacher(s).

Harjoittelu- ja työelämäyhteistyö

The course exercises are related to the skills that environmental engineers commonly need in their working life.

Lisätietoja opiskelijoille

Attendance at lectures in adp class is essential because the fundamentals of GIS is studied by ArcMap and also the coursework is carried out with that software.

Arviointikriteerit - hylätty (0) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

The student does not reach the level of satisfactory or does not do the exam neither the reports

Arviointikriteerit - tyydyttävä (1-2) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

The student can:
- download open file spatial data
- do the coordinate definitions
- separate vector and raster data from each others
- edit the appearance of the map objects and make thematic maps
- search map objects and save the results as separate files (layers)
- save and transfer data with gps device

Arviointikriteerit - hyvä (3-4) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

The student can in addition to previous mentioned:
- edit map objects and update attribute data
- utilize searching functions for efficient use of spatial data
- produce vector data
- rectify raster images
- maintains data of different coordinate system

Arviointikriteerit - kiitettävä (5) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

The student can apply previous mentioned skills and elementary analysis tools in problem solving.
