NRT Classes for EOS3 Program
Fall Semester | Spring Semester |
---|---|
Interdisciplinary EOS3 Focus on three broad goals: (1) Immerse students in the interdisciplinary complexities that characterize grand societal challenges of connecting big data generated through Earth observation science to sustainability; (2) Build student competency in engaging with interdisciplinary teams to address common questions; and (3) Enhance student competency in team science to include development of skills in leadership, communication, big data, and consensus building. |
EOS3 Interface Focus on interdisciplinary communication, application of group communication theories to team science, scholarship and communication of science across societal and cultural gaps. Will cover how interdisciplinary teams can better communicate and collaborate, particularly focusing on the science of “team science,” and bridging of gaps between disparate fields, such as the life sciences, computer science, and the social sciences. Will discuss how socio -cultural differences affect communication, specifically how those affect the communication of scientific and technical information across disciplines and to the public and policymakers. |
EOS3 Data Analytics Focus on applying large, open- source civil Earth observation and other geospatial data to address interdisciplinary science question. Will introduce various open-source data tools for acquiring, managing, and analyzing large public data sets. Work in interdisciplinary teams to fuse disparate data and conduct analyses that meld ideas from natural and social science disciplines. Teams will be comprised of members with varied skill sets to establish a culture of collaborative teaching and learning. |
EOS3 Practicum The EOS3 practicum is the culminate of the certificate program and will provide opportunities to apply what has been learned in the coursework while working as part of a collaborative and interdisciplinary team addressing real world research topics relating to EOS3 . |
