Presentation
Geospatial information is fundamental for the development of the activity of an environmental engineer. In this context, it is intended that competences be acquired in this area of knowledge, geographic information systems and remote sensing with respect to the acquisition, creation, manipulation, storage of geographic data and basic concepts of remote sensing may be applicable to various areas of intervention such as land use, water resources management, infrastructure management, terrain analysis, territory planning, natural resource management, among others.

Objectives
Objectives
Based on the QGIS software, the programmatic structure has as its essential objectives the understanding of the various types of geographic data structures and the treatment mode inherent to each one. In the course will be introduced basics of remote detection, in order to demonstrate the importance of this type of data applied to environmental engineering and to know tools, methodology and procedures of image processing. Understanding the concept of GIS, its potentialities and application domains. Ability to design a project in a GIS environment, directed, structured, based on a data model previously designed and implemented using the basic functionalities of a GIS: construction of geographic databases and use of spatial data manipulation operations, spatial analysis. and matrix algebra. Recognize the importance of remote sensing data and its application in environmental engineering.
