Software Training, Germany (08/2008, Act.3.1 & 3.2)
In August 2008 our colleagues from the Ain Shams University Cairo and Minia University visited Dresden, Germany again. The main objective of this activity (3.1 & 3.2) was to attend in training courses of IT solutions which will be installed and integrated in the new IT-Labs at the Egyptian universities.
The courses were given for the applications:
ArcGIS, VISUM, VISSIM and Autodesk Civil 3d.
For the ArcGIS course we could use the IT-lab at the Faculty of Forestry, Geosciences and Hydrosciences at the TU Dresden. The course contents in ArcGIS were introduced by Mr. Prechtel, an expert in the field of GIS applications.
