Scientific Perspectives of Global Issues

SPGI001 

Our world is facing multiple challenges: environmentally; economically; and socially. Students learn what the issues are, the science behind them, what is being done and how are they being monitored. Through inquiry-based learning and pertinent case studies, students explore the value of scientific thinking, conventional science, and Indigenous knowledge, as well as the unique opportunities that each offer in helping to address global issues. This subject also supports students to develop critical thinking skills and professional attributes of the modern scientist, to conduct science ethically and respectfully for a successful career.
