Opensource Computing for Earth Science Education is a three-year, large TLEF-funded project that will incorporate open source computational tools in EOAS courses and transform teaching practices to support hands-on interdisciplinary learning in data-driven scientific exploration.
We will develop, implement and evaluate a revised ENSC curriculum that will realign existing courses with updated Specialization Objectives (SO) and Learning Goals (LG), revise current course pedagogies to accommodate larger class sizes, and build new courses to embed and progressively develop: data analysis, computational, and problem-solving skills; intersections of climate change with other environmental and equity concerns; opportunities to work across different knowledge systems; connections to complementary fields of study; exposure to diverse professionals in the environmental sector and opportunities to develop a professional identity.
