GIS in an Engineering Education

Every structure that is designed and built gets constructed in a real-world location. Yet often, the real world is ignored during the design process. The value that GIS can bring to engineering coursework is that it helps students ground their designs and work in real-world context. Students can begin to see how combining their designs with real-time, real-world contextual information not only saves time and money but also improves their overall designs. 

Please join Esri staff along with engineering faculty members as we discuss the following:

• The value of GIS for students, staff, and engineering programs 
• Ways to incorporate GIS into your program or curriculum 
• New tools and software, including Autodesk and building information modeling (BIM) integrations
