Salish Kootenai College Environmental Science faculty proposes to develop an instructional methodology which infuses scientific and environmental literacy and critical thinking throughout the overall college curricula. The philosophical basis of this project is that professionals in any field must have the ability to synthesize relevant scientific and environmental information into decision-making. Environmental sciences provide the natural bridge between the sciences and non-science curricula, particularly for Native American students, because interest in the environment and natural resources is traditionally strong. This project will include curriculum development on two levels. First is pairing of eight environmental courses with eight courses in other disciplines, including Native American studies, business management, English, math, anthropology, nursing, human services, and computer sciences. These course pairings will involve integrated student projects, parallel topics, and group discussions. Second is incorporation of environmental modules into nine other course disciplines, developed by environmental sciences and other instructors as a cooperative effort. Results will be disseminated as a manual, on the internet, and in professional meetings.

Salish Kootenai学院环境科学系建议开发一种教学方法，在整个大学课程中注入科学和环境素养以及批判性思维。该项目的哲学基础是，任何领域的专业人员都必须有能力将相关的科学和环境信息综合纳入决策。环境科学提供了科学和非科学课程之间的天然桥梁，特别是对美洲原住民学生来说，因为对环境和自然资源的兴趣传统上是强烈的。 该项目将包括两个层次的课程开发。首先是将八门环境课程与其他学科的八门课程配对，包括美洲原住民研究、商业管理、英语、数学、人类学、护理、人类服务和计算机科学。这些课程配对将涉及综合学生项目，平行主题和小组讨论。第二是将环境单元纳入环境科学和其他教员合作开发的其他九个课程学科。 结果将作为手册、在互联网上和在专业会议上传播。
