GIS 222 - GIS for Civil Engineering and Public Works

Prerequisite: GIS 120
Transfers to: CSU

This course uses GIS software and cloud services as analytical and informational tools for engineers, maintenance planners, and facility managers to aid in civil engineering, facilities management, systems evaluation, maintenance, and asset management of public works utilities or capital improvement projects. Students perform hydrological and volumetric calculations by using surface models, sizing public works infrastructure based on land use, zoning and population data, and managing large-scale construction projects and public works infrastructure based on asset management and maintenance principles. The course includes data collection workflow using small unmanned aerial vehicle (sUAV) technology, photogrammetry, and the production of professional web and mobile field data collection applications.
