GEOHYDROLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY (GEOC27) (04) (60)
Preamble
The importance of hydrology is increasing because of the global growth of water
needs and the rise of water scarcity, which together cause greater risk and unreliability in
water resources management. The basic task of hydrology, which is fundamental for water
resources management, is the accurate definition and control of the water balance for different
space and time increments. Oceanography is a branch of earth science, which deals with the
study of world oceans. Oceanography is a broader term in which many sciences focused on
the common goal of understanding the oceans. Oceanography has moved into the spotlight of
urgent social concern, because of the oceans' impact on issues such as global climate change,
biodiversity, and even national security.
Course Outcomes:

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY IN GEOGRAPHY (GEOP25) (04) (60)
Preamble A wide variety of research is being completed and published in geography education.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a general overview of the different types of
methodologies, research designs, and techniques used by geography researchers. Learning
about research should be a rewarding experience that allows students to pursue their own
interests, learn more about a chosen topic and, above all, examine a subject from different
perspectives. The best reason for researching a topic in depth is that one finds it stimulating
and important. Many prominent geographers have been attracted to the field precisely because
of its wide remit, and some topics, that are now considered mainstream were, as recently as a
generation ago, not considered to be part of the discipline. Therefore, we encourage students to
let their imagination run free as they select objects of analysis and ways to study them.
Course Outcomes:

DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN GEOGRAPHICAL THOUGHT (GEOC29) (04) (60)
Preamble
“Geographic thought” as commonly understood in the discipline of geography
encompasses the development of geographic knowledge in particular places, times, and
contexts. Accordingly, it has traditionally been—and continues to be-primarily approached
from a historical perspective. The accumulation of geographical scholarship since the late
nineteenth century has encouraged a fusion of historical and geographical skills and interests.
In the process, the study of the history of geographical thought should continue to strengthen
its central position within the subject as a whole. Yet at the same time, research into this
modern era insists upon a more generous incorporation of significant contributions to
environmental appraisal and landscape authorship developed by government and non-
government actors, and a consideration of vernacular or non-scientific modes of inquiry.

FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM AND
INTRODUCTION TO GPS (GEOO25) (04) (60)
Preamble
Geospatial Technology is an emerging field of study that includes Geographic
Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and Global Positioning System
(GPS). Geospatial technology enables us to acquire data, i.e. referenced to the earth and use it
for analysis, modeling, simulations and visualization. These techniques are useful to improve
decision-making. These decisions are made easier because of specific and detailed
information is presented about one or more locations. These tools reduce costs and increase
efficiency – especially regarding maintenance schedules, fleet movements or scheduling
timetables.
Course Outcomes:
CO-1. Explain the basic concept of geospatial technology.
CO-2. Categorize the GIS analysis and
