This course will provide students with a broad overview of the role of social sciences (e.g., sociology, psychology, political science and economics) in natural resources management. Lectures will cover a broad background of the role of the social science in natural resources management; however, the curriculum will focus on case studies that highlight specific resource management issues. Lectures will be supplemented with guest presentation from individuals that represent a variety of natural resource stakeholders (Tribal, State, Federal and private) in Western Washington. 4 lecture hours; 2 lab hours. Vocational program course. May be used as a general elective in the AA degree.

0.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENGL 095 or placement in ENGL& 101; or instructor permission. Aquatic entomology will explore the basic ecology, life history and identification of aquatic invertebrates. Lectures will focus on the basic invertebrate ecology and life history. Laboratory exercises will focus on the sampling/identification of aquatic invertebrates as both larvae and adults and the use of species indices to characterize water quality. Students will be evaluated on both lecture and laboratory material, however, the focus of the curriculum will be the collection and preservation of a 200 specimen insect collection. Insect collections will also be digitally cataloged and compiled into an online invertebrate identification guide to be used by water quality monitoring and educational groups. 3 lecture hours; 4 lab hours. Vocational program course. May be used as a general elective in the AA degree.

5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENGL 095 or placement in ENGL& 101; or instructor permission. Plant ecology lectures will focus on the basic plant ecology, life history and distribution. Laboratory exercises will focus on the identification of plants of the Pacific Northwest and the use of plant identification in watershed assessment and restoration. Students will be evaluated on both lecture and laboratory material, however, the focus of the curriculum will be identification and description of the plants of coastal Washington. Students will be required to create a series of on-line slides that depict the distribution, identification, life history and cultural significance of coastal plants to be used as a resource for watershed restoration and education. 3 lecture hours; 4 lab hours. Satisfies science or lab requirement area C distribution or specified elective for the AA degree.

5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENGL 095 or placement in ENGL& 101; or instructor permission. Stream ecology will explore the biological, chemical and physical components of stream and watershed function. Lectures will focus on the processes of stream formation, and the factors that control, sediment run-off, nutrient cycling, species abundance and distribution. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role that the upland watershed plays in the determination of stream function. Laboratory exercises will focus on the field observation and analysis of the on-campus model watershed and stream as well as a comparison of this system to additional off-site watersheds. Students will be evaluated on both lecture and laboratory material, however, the focus of the curriculum will be the application of these techniques to a student directed group research project. 3 lecture hours; 4 lab hours. Vocational program course. May be used as a general elective in the AA degree.

5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENGL 095 or placement in ENGL& 101; or instructor permission. Water Quality Analysis will explore the laboratory and field techniques used to assess a variety of basic water quality parameter. Lectures will discuss the source(s) of water pollution and a variety of different techniques to assess water pollution. Laboratory exercises will focus on the application of these techniques to quantify water quality in coastal Washington. Students will be evaluated on both lecture and laboratory material, however, the focus of the curriculum will be the application of these techniques to a student directed group research project. Students will create a technical report to aid in the management of State and Federal water resources and/or the ongoing campus watershed restoration project. 3 lecture hours; 4 lab hours. Vocational program course. May be used as a general elective in the AA degree.

5.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENGL 095 or placement in ENGL& 101; MATH 098 or higher; NR 130 or FISH 121; or instructor permission. Population Assessment will explore the techniques used to quantify plant and animal species abundance and distribution. Lectures will focus on a discussion of the basic biological, mathematical and statistical techniques used to assess plant and animal populations. Laboratory exercises will focus on the application of these techniques to assess plant and animal populations in coastal Washington. Students will be evaluated on both lecture and laboratory material, however, the focus of the curriculum will be the application of these techniques to a student directed research project. Students will create technical report to aid in the State and Federal Agencies management of a particular species. 3 lecture hours; 4 lab hours. Vocational program course. May be used as a general elective in the AA degree.
