Outcome
Summary


The session commenced with an introductory exploration of Google Earth software and its applications in Civil Engineering, focusing on location selection and fundamental measurements like lines, polygons, distance calculations, and area measurements. A layer was generated to assess the total infrastructure area, enlightening students about Google Earth's measurement capabilities. Subsequently, a foundational overview of ArcGIS software was provided, detailing commands, shortcuts, and keys. This was followed by importing a simple raster layer map to pinpoint bus stop locations along a designated route. Utilizing modern tools such as aerial photography, drone technologies, and satellite imagery, digitization was executed. Ultimately, a comprehensive report encapsulating the analysis findings was crafted in a Word document, unveiling the novelty of the insights garnered. This immersive program equipped students with a holistic understanding of software accessibility, empowering them for future projects and innovations within the realm of Geographical Information Systems. Given the nascent nature of this technology, the program's insights offer invaluable perspectives for future endeavors. Moreover, its applicability extends to highway planning and alignment, further enriching students' skill set in practical contexts.
