CourseObjectives:
Thiscoursebroadensanddeepenstheconceptofepidemiologicalstudiesand
methodology, with a focus on environmental transmission. The students will
work on cases related to diarrhoeal, parasitic and vectorborne diseases. The
students will learn and be able to apply the Quantitative Microbial Risk
Assessment (QMRA) concept. The students will be able to apply their
knowledge in field projects as well as in system based management
applications

CourseObjectives
This course introduces principles, concepts and applications of Geographic
InformationSystems(GIS):adecisionsupporttoolforplannersandmanagers
of spatial information. Database development, manipulation and spatial
analysis techniques for information generation will be taught. Students will
have the scope of using GIS for applications in their related fields such as
natural resource management, environment, civil engineering, agriculture,
information system, etc will be discussed through miniproject and laboratory
exercises.
