Description

Google Earth Pro is a tools for viewing geographical information of the earth – whether  it is viewing climate information, analysing change over time, seeing the world the same way you’re used to seeing, or remembering routes taken while on vacation. In this course, you will learn all the basic and advanced capability of Google Earth Pro.

The course is divided into SIX parts;

1. Introduction
2. Use of basic tools
3. Use of advanced tools for data extraction
4. Application to highway engineering
5. Application to water and irrigation engineering
6. Application to structural engineering

The main chapter of this course is the application of Google Earth Pro to Engineering such as Highway, Water and Irrigation and some aspect of Structural Engineering.
