Course Objective

An independent project is designed and conducted by the student, after instructor approval. The project develops and demonstrates student s competence in using remote sensing techniques in a substantive application appropriate to his/her field of interest. Projects may be developed in coordination with a local government, utility, business, or other entity, which uses remote sensing in its operations and research. A formal presentation and a project report are required.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Students will be able to describe their field of interest in remote sensing precisely.
2   They will review problems in the locality and will also review solution strategies for different areas
3   They will be able to apply their knowledge gained in the lectures to the problem they will deal with.
4   They will investigate the solution strategies to the problem by remote sensing tools.
5   They will collect information, data contributing to the solution of the problem.
6   They will assess the solution to the problem they addressed.

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Students will prepare a project proposal. She/He will discuss what the problem is, what the project input is, which method will be used for the solution of the project, and what impact will the project deliver after its completion. Students are expected to write the project s report and present it orally.
