Section Title:
Business & Industry Data Anlys
Section Info:
Business and Industry Data Analysis is a new course designed to build the skills you need to find, analyze and explain the publicly-available data. The course will introduce you to the socioeconomic data available through statistical agencies such as the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, among others. These data can help answer business and policy related questions about the employment, wage and demographic trends within specific geographies (e.g., State, County, etc.). Through active learning and practical exercises you will become more proficient in tools such as Excel and PowerPoint to communicate and explain these data to others. Prereq: At least junior standing; ACE 161 or equivalent knowledge.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.

Section Title:
Sustainable Food Systems
Section Info:
Sustainable food systems are economically viable, environmentally sound, and socially just. In this course, we will examine the economic, environmental, and social aspects of mainstream food systems. We will then explore the opportunities and challenges for adopting alternative, more sustainable, and more climate-resilient models of food production and consumption. In the first part of the course, we will learn how to use systems thinking to analyze the different parts of the food system and how they interact. We will use case studies of recent food system sustainability initiatives and hear from leaders involved in such efforts in the food sector. In the second part, we will use computer simulations to assess the climate impacts of agricultural and food policies and role-play simulations and negotiations aimed at finding sustainability solutions among food system actors with different priorities and constraints.
