Course Objective

Since a comprehensive GIS project requires a large database that contains different types of data in different formats, CAD/GIS integration is now essential in order to bring different groups together to share many information types. The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of both the CAD concepts and CAD / GIS Integration techniques. The course covers topics ranging from editing existing maps through to quality control of compiled or generated CAD data to get ready to GIS implementation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   LO1. To identify the problems on traditional drafting techniques
2   LO2. To make clear the importance of the interactions between CAD and GIS
3   LO3. To detect and eliminate the human originated drawing errors and mistakes in GIS maps
4   LO4. To evaluate and develop both manual and automatic line clean-up processes
5   LO5. To find realistic solutions for the problems in map preparation and GIS data integration
