AIMS
Integrated Spatial Systems is a capstone subject focusing on solutions to environmental, economic and social dilemmas that face us in the 21st century require an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach. This subject, delivered in the final semester of the Spatial Systems major, provides a basis for students to integrate and apply the knowledge they have gained throughout their studies in different disciplines to solve real world problems.
The project will provide opportunities to apply knowledge of fundamental concepts, theory, and applications in core areas of positioning technologies and measurement integration, GIS, distributed spatial computing and mapping, web mapping, and location-based services.
This capstone subject will also provide ample opportunity for the students to gain experience and skills in how to perform a real-world, client-driven, interdisciplinary project, including important communication and organizational skills.
This subject will have a 4 day residential field work. This field work is compulsory for all students.
