MB 4451 - Marine Technical Methods

2 Credit Hour(s)

This course will provide an introduction to different methods of sensing the ocean, including building and testing simple sensors, e.g., temperature and light, using Arduino microcontrollers and software, use of instruments to collect high-resolution data, and some background on how technology has led to key advances in marine science. The course will be primarily project-based, with students working together to build instruments, learn basic programming skills to control sensors, and going in the field to test instruments and collect environmental data.
Prerequisite(s): CHM 1143/CHM L143, BIO 2229/BIO L229
