Intro to Quantitative Ecology

This introductory statistics course aims to provide students interested in ecology with a supportive, encouraging and comfortable environment for developing a sound knowledge of core statistical concepts in ecology. Ecology, the study of the relationships between organisms to one another and their environment, is a discipline concerned with quantifying the relationships we observe in nature. The objective of the course is to demystify statistics and help develop the basic level of understanding that all future ecologists should possess.

ST- Peeking/Fence Construction

This course provides a close contact with an on-going real construction project, which is also the future home of Building and Construction Technology. In this class, it offers you a unique opportunity to peek over the fence of its construction sites. No traditional lecture will be given in this class. Instead, it includes site visits showing site organization and work activities; roundtable discussion clarifying any question related to a construction process; and guest speakers presenting topics about Project Management, Building Information Modeling, Safety, Subcontractors, etc.
