micro-professional introduction
1. What is micro-professional ?
Micro-professional refers to a set of core courses offered around a certain professional field and research direction. Micro-professional courses have the characteristics of "less precision and top-notch" and can effectively improve the ability of interdisciplinary cross-integration, while meeting students' personalized and diversified development needs.

2. Why does the school open a micro-major?
a. Broaden the subject horizons
Micro major can lead students to understand subject knowledge outside their major, broaden their knowledge horizons, and expand their future development paths. Perhaps you will find a new field that fascinates you.
b. Improve employment competitiveness
At present, compound talents with multidisciplinary backgrounds are more favored by employers. Micro majors generally focus on emerging industries with good development prospects and large talent gaps. Through micro majors learning, students can master cutting-edge knowledge and technology more quickly, conveniently and targetedly, improve the matching degree of their own abilities and social needs. Improve employment competitiveness.
c. Improve social adaptability
During the micro-professional study, students have the opportunity to visit and practice in large factories, and also have the opportunity to have in-depth face-to-face communication with technical experts and engineers to make more sufficient preparations for their career after graduation.

Introduction to the micro-professional in geographic information
1. Why open the micro-professional in "geographic information"?
a. Strategic emerging industries, with huge development potential
80% of human activities are related to geographical information. Geographic information has been widely used in many aspects such as urban management, logistics, traffic management, electricity and energy, public safety, financial retail, etc. . In September 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping announced at the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly that China will establish the UN Global Geographic Information Knowledge and Innovation Center . As a high-tech modern service industry, the geographic information industry has been identified as a strategic emerging industry in my country by the State Council, and has become an important sector in the strategic blueprint of technology giants such as Alibaba , Baidu , Tencent , Huawei and other Huawei .
b.Supply in short supply, talent is the most scarce, professional
As the application fields of geographic information become increasingly widespread, geographic information-related industries need to continuously integrate communication technology, big data and other technologies, and combine the "geographic information +" composite innovation with multidisciplinary knowledge capabilities. Talent and geographic information-related majors have become one of the five majors with the "most scarce talent" in the next 10 years.
c. The advantages are obvious, and they are closely cooperative with the industry.
The school has now built greenhouse gas and carbon neutrality monitoring and evaluation center, Zhejiang Carbon Neutrality Innovation Institute, Big Data and Space Innovation Laboratory and other geographic information-based information. A research platform for big data has established comprehensive cooperative relationships with more than 30 scientific research institutes or listed companies including the Institute of Geography, the Institute of Aerospace, the Institute of Aerospace, the Institute of 20 Aerospace, and the Institute of 2000. It has more than 50 internship bases of various types. , has good experience and foundation in industrial cooperation.
2. What should I learn from the micro major of "geographic information"?
Geographic Information Major is an emerging major formed by the intersection of disciplines such as geoscience, surveying and mapping science and computer science. This major uses spatial information on the distribution of natural, social, economic, and cultural phenomena on the surface and near the surface as the research object to conduct spatial information. Basic theories and technical methods such as acquisition, management, expression, processing and application.



"Geographic Information " Micro major plans to to open 6 courses including Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, Introduction to Earth Science, Introduction to Remote Sensing, Intelligent Collection and Processing of Heaven, Earth, Space and Earth Information, GIS Application Development, Comprehensive Practice of Geographic Information Systems, , etc., involving mathematics, , physics, computer science, earth science, geoscience, geographic information systems and other disciplines.
