REM 110 - Natural Resource Computations and Analytics (3 units)
In this scenario-based course, students use critical thinking skills to formulate and apply computational analysis to natural resource issues. They learn how to work with field data, scientific literature, visual images, and other credible information and to present analysis and craft reports and proposals. Students will begin developing skills that they can apply and build upon throughout their academic careers.
Maximum units a student may earn: 3
Grading Basis: Graded
Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Fall
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. outline natural resource issue analysis processes that reflect combined critical and systems thinking approaches.
2. leverage Excel to compute, graph, and analyze natural resource field data.
3. utilize geospatial tools to determine attributes (e.g. area, perimeter, volume, elevation) of landscape features and land management infrastructure.
4. correlate visual images (e.g. maps, photo points, aerial images), landscape and land management infrastructure, and field data analysis to present and explain issues and opportunities.
5. find, vet and leverage scientific literature to support analysis of issues and opportunities.
6. present analysis in visual and narrative formats that reflect standards of expository writing and scientific presentation.
