Use of specialty software and geoportals in the teaching process

Abstract

This article aims to briefly present the specialized software used in the specialized classes, namely in the Geodesy, Topography and Cartography training program, as well as the products made by the students. This article presents the application of GIS (Geographic Information System) technologies, namely the QGIS (Quantum GIS) application in the development of digital and analog maps for different fields studied within the College of Ecology.
