Enhancing Quantitative Environmental Analysis In The Social Sciences

越来越清楚的是，自然科学和社会科学需要跨学科的方法来描述和解决全球环境问题。因此，这个项目正在帮助实施一个新的环境研究本科跨学科项目。该项目旨在改善对社会科学本科生的定量系统建模、地理信息系统（GIS）技术和计算机网络的教学。环境建模课程教授学生以系统为导向的方法来分析环境问题。地理信息系统课程为学生提供空间分析的技能和技术。环境网络教学生如何使用电子通信网络。所有课程也鼓励独立的学生研究项目和与教师合作。＊＊＊

Accordingly, this project is helping implement a new undergraduate interdisciplinary program in environmental studies. The project is aimed specifically at improving the instruction of quantitative systems modeling, geographic information systems (GIS) techniques, and computer networking to undergraduates in the social sciences. An environmental modeling course teaches students a systems-oriented approach to the analysis of environmental problems. GIS courses provide students with the skills and technologies for spatial analysis. Environmental networking teaches students how to use electronic communication networks. All courses also encourage independent student research projects and collaboration with faculty. ***
