Foundation of GIS for Civil Engineering: A Project-Based Workshop using QGIS

IEEE – Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Presents

Objective of the Event

To introduce students to the fundamental concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and their relevance in civil engineering applications.
To familiarize participants with the open-source software QGIS for spatial data analysis and visualization.
To develop practical skills in handling spatial data, including data import, layer management, and map creation.
To encourage hands-on, project-based learning through real-world problem-solving using GIS tools.

Outcome of the Event

Students will gain a clear understanding of GIS concepts and their role in civil engineering practice.
Students will be able to independently use QGIS for basic spatial data processing and map preparation.
Students will develop the ability to analyze and interpret spatial data for engineering decision-making.
Students will complete a mini/micro level project demonstrating the practical application of GIS in solving a civil engineering problem during the event.
