The objectives of the programme are:
1. to help students develop skills in development and application of information systems in geodesy and cartography to accelerate the transition to the cutting-edge industrial technologies of using satellite information systems for problems of geodesy and geodynamics, such as GLONASS and GPS, which use modern GIS in processing the results of geodetic measurements, and for problems of cartography;
2. to train engineers in development and application of information systems in geodesy and cartography.
Programme contents
- Research and Simulation Methods for Information Processes and Technologies.
- System Engineering.
- Information Systems Reliability.
- GIS-technologies and Satellite Navigation Systems.
- Methods of Geospatial Data Processing.
