Program Objectives
The Integrated Environmental Planning (IEP)
program prepares students to meet growing needs
for technologists capable of assisting in all areas of
land use and environmental planning, environmental
chemistry and hydrology, applied ecology
and microbiology, and geographic information
systems. Graduates of this program are trained
in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data
entry and spatial analysis using Arc GIS and other
software. Graduates possess the practical field and
laboratory skills and technical competencies not
only to acquire, compile, analyze, evaluate and
present environmental information, but also to
integrate it effectively into formal planning and
review processes.
Common Core
The first year of Forest Technology, Recreation,
Fish & Wildlife Technology and Integrated
Environmental Planning Technology programs
consists of a core of common courses emphasizing
resource skills, knowledge and professionalism in
inventory, measurement, mapping, communications,
math, and interpretation.
The second year of each program synthesizes the
skills, knowledge, and professionalism of first
year with applied management, planning, and
advanced techniques and principles. Integration
of learning in each program is required.
