Hi all, I would appreciate feedback on what you believe are essential skills that an undergraduate in Environmental Biology (in the broad sense) should have when they graduate. I am thinking here about field and lab skills, not necessarily concepts.
For instance- wetland delineation; plant identification; ash free dry mass; use of a balance; microscope skills, etc. Do you have data analysis expectations? GIS? Data handling in R? Put another way, if you were to hire freshly minted "BS" what would you expect them to be able to do walking in the door on day one? Best, Ryan ------- *​Ryan W.
