Teaching & Capacity Building

Selected teaching and capacity-building activities in GIS, remote sensing, UAV, LiDAR, field surveying, and ArcGIS, emphasizing applied geospatial workflows, structured practical instruction, and professional capacity development.

GIS and Remote Sensing Practical Training

Directorate of Technical Education (DTE)

Role
Practical Instructor
Format
Instructor-led desktop laboratory sessions

GIS and remote-sensing instruction with participant workstations
Applied learning environmentDesktop exercises supported immediate practice and discussion.

Delivered applied GIS and remote-sensing instruction through structured desktop workflows integrating data preparation, mapping, geoprocessing, spatial analysis, and visualization.

  • Structured technical content into sequential, reproducible exercises.
  • Explained tools through live demonstrations and spatial examples.
  • Supported learners while they completed tasks on individual workstations.
  • Checked outputs, clarified errors, and reinforced correct workflow logic.

UAV and LiDAR Capacity-Building Training

Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC)

Role
Technical Contributor
Focus
UAV, LiDAR, field survey, imagery, and quality control

Contributed to professional capacity development by relating UAV and LiDAR field procedures to derived geospatial products, including imagery, point clouds, maps, and quality-controlled survey outputs.

  • Communicated UAV and LiDAR concepts in an applied field-to-GIS sequence.
  • Connected data acquisition decisions with downstream mapping quality.
  • Supported technical discussion and participant engagement.
  • Emphasized safe, traceable, and quality-aware survey practice.

ArcGIS Pro: Essential Workflows

Esri Bangladesh

Role
Trainer
Audience
Official and professional participants
ArcGIS Pro instruction in a professional computer-lab setting
ArcGIS Pro instructionInstructor-led explanation supported by participant practice and task review.

Delivered foundational ArcGIS Pro instruction covering map preparation, data management, editing, geoprocessing, spatial analysis, and cartographic visualization.

  • Demonstrated complete workflows rather than isolated software commands.
  • Observed participant progress during practical tasks.
  • Evaluated outputs against the intended workflow and result.
  • Provided clarification and individualized feedback where needed.
