Quantitative Intensive (QI) - BD Course-Level Learning Outcomes

The Methods Requirement supports students in learning the methods of inquiry relevant to their field of study. Students satisfy this requirement by applying analytical skills to evaluate and address comprehensive challenges with a critical lens.

Upon successful completion of the Methods Requirement through a QI-designated course, students will be able to:

  • Connect previously acquired quantitative literacy to discipline-specific applications.

  • Apply discipline-specific quantitative methods to solve theoretical, practical, or real-world problems.

  • Relate course-related quantitative methods to the discipline.

  • Communicate results and insights from quantitative analysis effectively.

Apply basic and applied knowledge through completion of a capstone education, research, or work experience

Apply measurement principles, numerical and statistical analysis methods, and a high-level structured programming language to investigate atmospheric processes and environmental problems

Be prepared for higher-level education or to embark on a career with skills adaptable to evolving opportunities in the workforce

Demonstrate how basic understanding of the atmosphere can be applied to diverse interdisciplinary applications

Demonstrate understanding of core concepts in the atmospheric sciences involving fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, radiative transfer, and air chemistry

Demonstrate understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities expected of scientists

Possess the ability to communicate in both written and oral forms with peer and lay audiences using scientific evidence
