This certificate will provide advanced education and training in collecting, processing, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data through remote-sensing platforms, such as satellite images, aerial photos, and drone images. Students in this program will take courses that cover all major aspects of remote sensing, including digital image processing and analysis, working with Lidar, drones for data collection, and computer programming that is critical for data processing and analysis. Students will develop a good understanding of how remote sensing is applied to real-world problems, and graduates will have the knowledge and skills to work as remote sensing professionals and specialists. |
