Student Affairs Geographic Information Systems Related Links Spring/Summer Schedule MASTER OF ENGINEERING DEGREE - GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS OPTION The Master of Engineering degree - Geographic Information Systems (MEng-GIS) option is directed to engineers and other environmental and urban infrastructure professionals seeking skills in using and managing these rapidly developing spatial data technologies. The degree emphasizes quantitative methods in the development and application of GIS technologies to a spectrum of discipline-specific settings having significant spatial dimensions. The MEng-GIS degree at CU-Denver is multidisciplinary involving Civil Engineering (environmental, geodesy and remote sensing, water resources, geotechnical and transportation), Geography and Environmental Sciences (remote sensing, ecology, air quality, environmental impact assessment), Urban and Regional Planning (spatial analysis, community development), Computer Science (data structures, database systems and software engineering), Applied Mathematics (probability and statistics, networks, simulation and optimization), and Engineering Management. The MEng-GIS degree program consists of 9 courses, or 27 semester hours of graduate credit, plus 3 hours of an advanced applications project. The project is not a thesis, but a separate, creative, state-of-the-art report that must be written and orally defended. Course deliveries are tailored for the working professional. On-campus course offerings are in the late afternoon, evening or on weekends. Also, the entire degree is offered on-line using Internet-based courseware and teleconferencing technologies. To enroll, the MEng-GIS program requires a Baccalaureate degree in engineering, math, physics, natural science (biology, chemistry, geology, geography), or social science (economics, planning) from an accredited college or university. | |
