ASM 53200 - Introduction To Agricultural Informatics
Credit Hours: 3.00. We will overview current and emerging digital technologies with applications in agriculture, environment, and food systems. Students are expected to have a minimal computing and/or programming background, and those with no programming background should contact the instructor for guidance. Through a modular hands-on course design, students will incrementally learn user-centered technology design skills, computational thinking skills to evaluate, design, conceptualize, and implement informatics solutions to data-driven challenges. Students will gain programming skills in current data science and web development technology stacks (Python, HTML, CSS, SQL, Django), and design an informatics solution to problem in their own area of interest. This course supports professional development for students in pursuit of careers in digital product design or data-driven research.
