Integrating Civil Engineering and GIS/IT Disciplines
“Wow! I just accomplished in 10 minutes with one program [GIS] what took me two or three days using MicroStation, Excel, and the online Property Appraisers site! I am incredibly impressed by what this program can accomplish.”
The integration of GIS technology into civil engineering has seen a dramatic increase in recent years. Solutions have become more sophisticated as the usefulness of GIS has become increasingly apparent to civil engineers. GIS and related information technologies are now being used by civil engineers in many aspects of project development and infrastructure management – from preliminary studies thru final design and for day-to-day operations, facilities maintenance and asset management.
Specific topics include:
- Engineering industry trends and opportunities for integration
- GIS and the infrastructure lifecycle
- CAD interoperability/integration
- GIS fundamentals (in engineering terms)
- Modeling and simulation
- Asset and maintenance management
Intended Audience: This workshop is intended for GIS/IT professionals that support engineering functions within an enterprise; project managers and analysts dealing with both CAD and GIS data; as well as civil engineers and planners that are interested in leveraging GIS technology.
