Major in GIS

Like many people, I also deployed my GIS Major. I searched the internet for what this major did before I got into school, and how I got employed. As a result, I have not completely done what HD GIS does, what it can do, and what it can do.

It is not easy for me to enter a school, so I cherish it very much. I want to learn something and find a good job. So I found a senior in the freshman year and asked him about various situations. At that time, he was doing a measurement internship on campus, because I had learned that we were going to do that thing, thank you, Brother Huang. You have told me many professional things. Because the senior guy is taking the learning path of his major and is guided by him, I knew at that time that the main job direction of this major was development and measurement. Of course, later I learned that there are still data processing tasks. After graduation, I went back to my freshman year. At that time, I had a strong mind. In fact, I had nothing to do with finding a job and learning a major. Another reason was that I had received a variety of information about my hard work after graduation, the university must learn the true skills. Okay, that's the end.

The definition of GIS has been very vague. Some people suspect that it is pseudo-scientific in the Post. Most beginners feel very abstract and do not know what GIS can do or what it can be used. First, let's take a look at the real existence and function of GIS and try to make it less abstract. I don't know if the kindergarten children have been in touch with the map. It took too long to remember whether I had met or met the map at that time. In short, primary school students must have the concept of map. Because the walls of the Rural Primary School I read are covered with tiles on map of China and map of the world. Maps and GIS are inextricably linked. It can be said that there is no map, and there is no GIS. The University has courses such as cartography and map drawing. Most of the maps seen by ordinary people are administrative area maps. There are various maps in the professional field, also called thematic maps. For example, the population distribution density, rainfall in various regions, the escape road map of the headers, and the weather map of the Central Station weather forecast. The map has a scale, a legend, and a needle in the north. The map projection, that is, the coordinate system, will be added to the map. Understanding the coordinate system is a must for getting started with GIS. I am ashamed to myself. I still fully understand it. I can only deal with it in the past and continue to learn. Baidu maps, Google Maps, and google use many GIS technologies. Any book introducing GIS will mention which industries will use it, such as public security, fire control, planning, land, real estate, water conservancy, and transportation... GIS is a technology that involves multiple disciplines. Computer, ing, Mathematics (it seems that all science and engineering are inseparable) and so on.
