Oceanography Undergraduate Education GES: Interdisciplinary Rigorous Research focused B.S. degree Educating Hawaii’s people through OCN 201 and 19 other undergraduate courses

UH and UHM Strategic Plans Increase in degrees in STEM fields by 3% per year through 2015 Increase native Hawaiians in STEM fields Involve undergraduates in research Focus on needs of State

Service to UH and Hawaii Science of the Sea (OCN 201 and 201L) students/yr Global Environmental Change (OCN 310) students/semester Aquatic Pollution (OCN 320) students/yr Living Resources of the Sea (OCN 331) 25 students/semester Energy & Mineral Resources (OCN 330) 25 students/semester Enrollment dominated by nonmajors

New Directions Educational pedagogy – moving away from pure lecture courses – Discussion groups – Class projects – Student writing – Field work/trips – Use of clickers Distance learning – HITS – e.g. OCN 331

What We Want/Need Increased enrollments – Agreement with A&S on credit requirement – HITS support – Increased faculty participation TAs – Loss of a TA means loss of a 201 lab section – New teaching techniques require more instructor/student interaction and supervision

GES Program – A Great Success Started in 1998 Rigorous BS; unique combination of breadth and focus 63 graduates – 30 to graduate school – 24 to environmentally related jobs – 9 to military, other, or unknown

GES Current Students 55 majors 30% local, 40% mainland, 30% international Research experience is key – rewarding, but challenging – Connecting students and mentors – Funding projects – Guidance through process – Time to completion

GES Plans - Recruitment Top students everywhere – Improved website – Mailings/advertising Increase numbers of Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders – Working with CMORE Tutoring/mentoring/financial support are key

GES Plans - Curriculum Evaluation of current courses – Coord. of 310, 310L, 401 – More rigorous version of 310 – More rigorous version of 201? Need more biology in curriculum – Ecosystem-scale biology – Support for new hire in coral reefs/climate change

Course development – Research oriented course coord. w/ HIOOS To shepherd students into thesis topics Students would work up data sets from HIOOS projects such as Kilo Nalu, CRIMP, HOTS, etc. Project would continue in a second semester OCN 499 with faculty mentor OCN 363 provides prerequisites skills in Matlab and data handling Field trips/field work Would need a TA GES Plans - Curriculum

Summary Service courses and GES degree are in good shape To move forward with enrollments and program development: – Scholarships & Research Fellowships – Website upgrade/advertising support – TAs – Addition of coral reefs/climate change expertise – Agreement with A&S
