Summary module description:
This is a course for making GIS Programming, which includes two parts, visual development language (C#) and GIS component (ArcObjecs). Based on this knowledge, the aims are to introduce the principles of making a small GIS application, and introduce the interface of vector data processing, spatial query, rendering and topological operation, raster data processing, analysis, rendering and operation, so students can systematically learn a GIS development language, learn development methods and develop ideas.
Aims:
This course is comprised of two parts: C# and ArcObjects. Through studying this course, students can understand the basic knowledge of GIS software development. Students will also master the basic development skills in order to create applications using ArcEngine. This course provides an excellent grounding in utilizing GIS for research work and will allow for student development in futher GIS principles and provide skills applicable to a broad range of jobs and careers.
Assessable learning outcomes:
By the end of this module, students will be able to apply their knowledge of contemporary research in GIS development in an appropriate, selective and informed way.
Additional outcomes:
On completion of this module, it is expected that a student will be able to:
- Master the basic concepts and syntax of C#, and be able to use C# to create visual applications.
- Master the basic interface of ArcObjects and the knowledge of how to use it.
- Master the basic principles, methods and tools of secondary development of a GIS
- Know about the principles and methods of GIS software development, and know how to apply a range of GIS software.
Outline content:
The topics covered in GIS Programming will include an introduction for GIS Programming, ideas of object-oriented software development, variable and data-type in C#, program flow control in C#, array and method in C#, common controls and components in C#, Overview of ArcGIS Engine components, properties and methods of IMap, ILayer and IFeatureLaye, interface of geometric objects, methods for spatial query, interface of ICommand and ITool in ArcObjects, using ITopologicalOperator, renderer forfeature data and raster data.
Global context:
In the 21st century, software development has become the main tool to deal with many problems. This module emphasises the significance and value of your degree at the University introducing you to the key concepts and ideas that form a distinctive geographical perspective. We will offer examples from our own experience to enhance your learning.
Brief description of teaching and learning methods:
Students will make several groups by themselves, with 5-6 members in each group. They can set the system functions independently and develop the system using learning content. Students will report every week and at the end of the course, students will report by PPT and a system programme.

Students will complete a test.
Formative assessment methods:
Penalties for late submission:
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of five working days;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than five working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Assessment requirements for a pass:
A mark of 60% overall
Reassessment arrangements:
Re-examination.
