451-205 Introduction to GIS and Remote Sensing

This is an integrative subject intended to incorporate the principles that have been addressed in earlier parts of the course. A combination of Australian and overseas case studies will be used.

At the completion of this subject, students should be familiar with the experiences of a variety of organisations as they design, develop, implement and use geographic information systems; have experience in dealing with the complexity, politics and reality of information systems in actual organisational contexts; have experience with the case method of learning to develop analytical, synthesis, listening and presentation skills; know how to learn and generalise from the experiences of individual organisations; and be exposed to the operations and culture of organisations, both well and poorly run, in various countries.
