Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Master and explain the fundamental notions needed to use databases and address geomatic problems; implement these notions in the software (Geographical Information Systems, Specialized software libraries...) used in the course; acquire a self-learning attitude to solve problems using deductive reasoning and basic knowledge.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
lectures : - introduction to relational databases; - introduction to Geographical Information Systems; - introduction to geoprocessing using Python. exercises : - hands-on introduction to RDBMS : introduction to relational database design and SQL request writing; - hands-on introduction to Geographical Information Systems and geoprocessing using Python: spatial reference systems : definition, transforms, on the fly reprojection; data sources : common formats, geodata servers; raster datasets : data coding, representation, georeferencing, use Digital Elevation Models; vector datasets : link to data source (databases), data coding, symbology, selection operations, basic geoprocessing operations, topologic and non-topologic editing; Input of field data. The lectures, exercises and practical sessions are illustrated with examples from the earth and environmental sciences.

I-GEOL-040 | Oral examination during the regular examination period without class notes or laboratory notes. Evaluation on all of the material. Each student draws a card with two questions. The first question deals with knowledge and understanding of notions explained during the lectures and exercises. Each student gives a presentation on his answer (prior written preparation of maximum 30 minutes) and replies to oral questions on this presentation. The second question is a "hands-on" exercise. The student has to solve the problem with the softwares and python packages used during the lectures, exercises and practical work (maximum 30 minutes). A computer with the necessary tools is provided. |
