The Romberg Tiburon Center for Environment Studies (RTC) is a rapidly growing off-campus teaching and research center of San Francisco State University. Undergraduate presence at the center is increasing due to greater interest from faculty, and improved curriculum and teaching facilities, both at RTC and on the main campus 35 minutes away. While RTC has much state-of-the-art research equipment, the center lacked an appropriate computer technology component needed to implement both traditional and newly available environmental science curricula. In order to correct this problem, our project develops and supports an up-to-date Instructional Environmental Science Computer Lab, and creates new curricula that makes use of the Lab. New curricula being implemented includes ecological and environmental modeling and analysis modules employing Structural Thinking, Experiential Learning Laboratory with Animation (STELLA), MATLab, and SYSTAT statistics software plus the ERDAS Imagine image-processing system. Combined with current RTC equipment this support provides RTC with a modern computer lab with 123 computers plus essential peripherals. The project is adapted from elements of STELLA software and from the problem-solving text, "Consider a Spherical Cow" by John Harte.

Romberg Tiburon环境研究中心（RTC）是旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学的一个快速发展的校外教学和研究中心。 由于教师的兴趣越来越大，RTC和35分钟路程外的主校区的课程和教学设施都得到了改善，该中心的本科生人数正在增加。 虽然RTC拥有许多最先进的研究设备，但该中心缺乏实施传统和新的环境科学课程所需的适当计算机技术组件。 为了纠正这个问题，我们的项目开发和支持一个最新的教学环境科学计算机实验室，并创建新的课程，利用实验室。 正在实施的新课程包括生态和环境建模和分析模块，采用结构化思维、动画体验式学习实验室（STELLA）、MATLab和ERATSAT统计软件以及ERDAS Imagine图像处理系统。 结合目前的RTC设备，这一支持为RTC提供了一个现代化的计算机实验室，拥有123台计算机和基本的外围设备。 该项目是改编自STELLA软件的元素和解决问题的文本，“考虑一个球形奶牛”由约翰哈特。
