Professional practice in GIS and technology

This unit introduces the concepts, standards and techniques associated with the current professional practice in GIS&T in professional and organisational settings. You will investigate the nature of professions generally and the characteristics of the professions that occupy the GIS&T field in particular, and learn a range of concepts, techniques and professional issues, including professional communications, human resources and conflict resolution, teamwork, project management practice, social impacts of GIS&T, and applications of professional ethics and relevant legal frameworks. Practical and real-world case studies will be used as part of the learning to help you build knowledge and enhance skills to meet challenges in professional practice in the workplace.
