3.00 Credits
A class for graduating Residential Construction majors that draws together features of all previous classes and introduces points directed toward effective planning and management of a construction project. The Senior Construction Project(s), a building activity completely organized, directed, and executed by the students, is the major concentration helping to prepare them for a management position in the home-building industry, Prerequisite: Senior Residential Construction majors only 4 credits (1 lecture hour, 6 laboratory hours), spring semester
-
3.00 Credits
The focus of this course is on processing functions and structure of riparian and wetland areas and the multiple human influences on these areas. The options for management of these areas will be stressed. Lectures are used to introduce students to the principles and concepts; and lab exercises are used to visit and evaluate field sites for future management consideration. Prerequisites: college-level course in ecology or permission of instructor 3 credits (2 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours) fall semester
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with basic understanding of global positioning systems (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS). The focus will be primarily on the application, uses, management, implementation, and benefits of these systems (rather than the theory and the technical details of how GPS and GIS actually "work"). The course is also designed to givestudents with very little GPS/GIS background a working knowledge of how to gather spatially distributed and geographically referenced data, query data, analyze spatial relationships, and produce maps. The laboratory work will focus on teaching the student how to use GIS and GPS through hands-on exercises. Prerequisite: upper division standing and basic college computer course or permission of instructor 3 credits (2 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours), fall semester
-
3.00 Credits
The focus of this course is on the major federal environmental and related health and safety statues currently in force. This course will also make general suggestions and give ideas on how one can identify potential environmental law problems and how to resolve them as effectively and efficiently as possible. Prerequisite: Bachelor of Technology status or permission of instructor 3 credits (3 lecture hours) spring semester
-
3.00 Credits
A comprehensive study of sampling theory, design and methodologies currently used in the aquatic sciences. Course specifically addresses research sampling considerations and strategy design; sampling and characterization of lake, river and wetland ecosystems; watershed and catchments delineation;. Course includes field dress and safety, field data management, watercraft operation, biometry, and data analysis. Prerequisites: NATR 250 or permission of instructor 3 credits (2 lecture hour, 3 laboratory hours), fall semester
-
3.00 Credits
Current issues, theories, practices and trends associated with multiple-use environmental planning and natural resource management. Emphasis is on critical thinking processes for the identification, definition, and resolution of environmental problems; planning and the implementation of plans; and management strategies for specific management goals. Prerequisite: Bachelor degree standing or permission of instructor 3 credits (3 lectures hours), fall semester
-
3.00 Credits
This is the capstone course of the Renewable Resources curriculum, building upon theory and analytical skills gained in prerequisite courses and closely integrated with RREN 332 - Environmental Planning and Natural Resources Management. This course will integrate theory and technical management concepts with policy considerations so that terrestrial, aquatic and human system management issues may be approached at a systems-level rather than as individual mitigation or mediation efforts. Prerequisite: RREN 332 3 credits (2 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours), fall semester
-
3.00 Credits
This course involves the presentation of two integrated teaching modules that focus on the application of geospatial technology to forest and wildlife management. The first module includes the application of geospatial technologies to the integrated management and monitoring of forest land. The second module utilizes the application of geospatial technology to assess habitat resources for wildlife management. The two modules incorporate the global positioning system (GPS), geographic information system (GIS), and remote sensing technologies combined with field-tested, scientifically-based principles providing an integrated approach to natural resources management. The two modules are vertically integrated where field measurements are combined based on common sampling points. Prerequisites: RREN 303; (senior standing or permission of the instructor) 1 credit (2 lecture hours, 2 laboratory hours), 5-week course, fall semester
-
3.00 Credits
This is an elective course in the Renewable Resources Technology BT program where students are expected to master the application of geospatial technology to natural resources management through independent and group projects where many of the college properties will be inventoried using the methodology covered in RREN 420. The course follows integrated approaches to the management and monitoring of forest land as well as the assessment of habitat resources for wildlife management by focusing on a new college property each year. Geospatial technologies including the global positioning system (GPS), geographic information system (GIS), and remote sensing are combined with field-tested, scientifically-based principles providing an integrated approach to natural resources management of the forest. Prerequisites: RREN 420 with a B or better and approval of instructor 2 credits (1 hour of lecture and 4 hours of laboratory), 10-week course, fall semester
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed to prepare students for an internship and to assist them with the process of employment and career development. It prepares students for internship requirements such as goal definition, placement site identification, job application, performance evaluation and report writing. RREN 450 formalizes internship planning and preparation to insure that internships are procured, conducted in a professional manner, follow course guidelines, and satisfy the goals and objectives of students, faculty advisors and cooperating placement sites. 1 credit (1 lecture hour), spring semester
