Labs
GIS Lab
This lab is one of the important tools in the field of planning, geography or surveying. GIS lab uses the up-to-date techniques to analyze very big data in a short time. It is so hard to analyze this enormous data in traditional methods. According to the college view, GIS is one of the essential courses the students take during their academic life.
The Aims of GIS Lab
The lab trainers and teachers aim at teaching the students to use this system in a professional way as well as using the data in projects and planning studies.
