  3. Introduction • GIS stores geographic data as layers • With these layers and the relation between then, you can begin to ask question about areas and discover relationships among the features

  4. Our GIS Course • Professional School of Montemor, was pioneer in Portugal in the education of intermidate technicians with the creation in 1994 of the GIS course • This course has three years of studies • In these three years, our students learn subjects related to the topic of GIS, such as, cartography, databases, GPS, Spatial Analyst, and others

  5. Our GIS Course • In this picture we can observe the curriculum of the course:

  6. Our GIS Course • In the third year of the course, students will have to develop a final project, called Professional Skill Project • This project consists on the application of the knowledge acquired throughout the three years of the course • When students finish their courses with a good final mark, they will be skilled for: • analysing and interpreting all the information to introduce in the GIS where it operates, having for bases the urban drawing, planning and territorial order

  7. Our GIS Course • reading and analysing cartographic data and air-photography • integrating and validating geographic data, proceeding from different formats and source (example, GPS data) • organizing and making the management of databases • elaborating digital cartography • After the course, students can go to University or start working in public or private institutions

  8. Our GIS Course • During these ten years of the course, some good projects have been developed by our students • Last year, a student developed a final project to find a new golf course location in our Municipality • Let’s go see some aspects of this project
