Geoinformation environment 1300-WSGINF-GES

Geoinformation environment - a new title of the subject previously known as Geoinformation in hydrogeology corresponds to the students' demand for new content and meets the requirements of the geological labor market for graduates in the use of GIS techniques. A graduate of hydrogeology should know well the spatial information environment related to natural sciences. The main focus is still on hydrogeology, but the content presented during the course also includes related sciences and other aspects.

Almost all natural sciences are related to space and the majority of data obtained during research and analysis has a spatial aspect. GIS techniques allow such information to be manaed effectively and based on multiple analyzes. During engineering studies, students learned ArcGIS software and improved their skills at a certain level of generality. In the course of this practice, the knowledge and skills transferred refer to specific fields of knowledge in which graduates are used and which may be encountered during internships, apprenticeships and future professional work.

The new formula of the subject predicts both their traditional form (work on the comptuer preceded by a theoretical introduction) and classes connected with going outside and (co)operated by persons employed in private institutions and companies using GIS techniques and the like (Państwowy Instytut Geologiczny – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy, Państwa Służba Hydrogeologiczna, Państwowa Służba Geologiczna, Państwowe Gospodarstwo Wodne – Wody Polskie, ESRI, TAXUS IT, MGGP Aero, Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji Warszawa, Polgeol). The group of co-teachers may change depending on the available joint terms and new ideas. Cooperation in various areas with the aforementioned institutions is already practiced and in the last few years has been practiced in a variable form on various subjects - including in the form of conducting selected classes. Co-workers are usually graduates of the Faculty of Geology who, being employed in given companies / institutions, know best what are the discrepancies between the education program and the requirements of the labor market. Classes are designed to minimize these differences..

Due to the large number of co-workres, the specifics of their work and the "thematic exchangeability" timetable should be treated as indicative. The program of classes, the order and time proportions between classes will be shaped on an ongoing basis depending on the time possibilities of individual co-workers, but in principle its framework will be preserved. Certain modifications may also be hourly dimensions assigned to particular topics. Over time, the subject matter and the group of co-drivers will be subject to modifications.
