ISEM 720 - Advanced Applications of Satellite Systems

(3 semester hours)
Prerequisites: Completion of at least 18 graduate semester hours and good knowledge of Web Technologies (equivalent to ISEM 501 ) or a degree in IT/software engineering/computer science or Admission to ISEM Doctoral Program
Description: This course covers major aspects concerning the field of advanced applications of satellite systems and remote sensing data. These satellites can be classified by their function since they are launched into space to do a specific job and hence the satellite must be designed specifically to fulfill its role. The focus of the course is on large and complex applications of satellites and remote sensing data in Health, Public Safety (e.g., disaster recovery), Public Welfare (e.g., economic development), Energy, Environment, Tourism, Agricultures, Smart Cities, and other satellite application areas such as weather forecasting and satellite radios/TV. After an introduction to satellite technologies, this course concentration on innovative satellite applications to solve real life problems.
