Abstract
The Geographic information system (GIS) utilization in many fields of science and technology. One of these fields civil engineering has been used amount of information and systems to assist in the planning, modeling, design, implementation of Civil Engineering and activities. There are many GIS-based tools and applications-oriented civil engineering. And the proper use of these tools and applications required training in the theory of geographic information systems, technologies and implementation issues. And geographic information systems (GIS) using modern technology widely in the world, but the Iraqi civil engineer had no idea of the systems for the curriculum does not contain it, and this affects the level of use and confined to the research of graduate studies. From this point of view researcher by virtue of the adoption of the idea of specialization include civil engineering curricula of these techniques for use in the development of engineering projects. The study discussed several topics of the most important to identify the views of people with specialization on the extent of their knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS) and to identify the use of these systems and the extent to which Iraqi engineer them as study focused on the discussion of the interest and conviction of Engineers include the curriculum for learning and training on the applications of these systems. as well as to identify ways in which help to improve the knowledge and dissemination systems. then study found a total of conclusions and recommendations
