Learning Outcome 1

Objective

Student will be able to identify, formulate, and solve problems in agriculture using a systematic approach.

Activity

Homework, labs, and projects

Justification

Aligns with the second outcome of the ATM BS (utilize current technology, tools, and best practices in agricultural systems). A student completing the minor will be exposed to technology at many different levels (1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 classes) but may not take enough of these classes to know how to utilize technology, tools, and best practices. This outcome is embedded in all lower and upper-level classes in homework, labs, and projects.

Learning Outcome 2

Objective

Students will be able to identify current technology, tools, and best practices in agricultural systems.

Activity

Homework, labs, and projects

Justification

Aligns with the third outcome of the ATM BS (analyze information and systems to aid in decision making). A student completing the minor will be exposed to decision making at many different levels (1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 classes) but may not take enough of these classes to know how to analyze information and systems to aid in decision making. However, they should be able to describe the process. This outcome is embedded in all lower and upper-level classes in homework, labs, and projects.
