8CT14 Remote Sensing and GIS

Objective:

The course aims to create awareness about the technology, its usefulness and application in various fields. Also, it aims to generate an interest and knowledge about the subject. There will be theory sessions to explore the understanding about the basic know-how, practical sessions will be held using optical equipments and hands-on sessions on computers will be organized to teach the technology remote sensing and GIS soft wares available with us.
