Students were asked: What is/are the most important concept(s) you learned from this program? The most concise response was: "Everything" Others went into more detail: • The most important things learned were the mapping and gis applications...being able to do it properly and actually use it the right way in the field is a huge asset. I have been complimented already that it is huge to doing it right. The field identification of vegetation and other things. The new ideas of restoration and different techniques used are huge. All the aspects of air, water and the environment is huge, I thoughly enjoyed it. • Time management, very important in second year CARE!!!! • That even the word 'everything' is more complex than you can imagine. • The whole concept of restoration and the factors that are involved. Almost every class we have ties in to that and I believe that is very important. • The fact of how much work is out there and is created by our current industry practices and how things could be changed for the better.

Students were asked: What is/are the most important concept(s) you learned from this program? Hands on learning such as field skills was a common theme. "Hands on practices I think were of the most value to us," was one comment. Soil classifications and plant identification were also widely mentioned as important concepts. One comment: "I think the labs are an essential componet of this program there were a lot of concepts i didn't fully understand until goihng out in the field. I like how hands on the teachers are. Another said: "Material and techniques we did in labs was great. Hands on work. Field trips were awesome! Some people made lists of particular skills such as soil sampling. One person summed up the program this way: "I learned not only the importance of environmental conservation but also the practicality of it for the real world." A final comment: "This is and outstanding school with an atmosphere like no other." Check out testimonials from our graduates. |

Students were asked: What is/are the most important concept(s) you learned from this program? • For the area that I am currently working in the most important concepts were the classes that included soil fertility and fertilizers, soil classification and landforms and advanced soil sciences. Also thought that reclamation field methods and site assessment were also important • The management concept under many different aspects including Environmental Management and Compliance, OH&S Management, and Project Management • That school is the base of knowledge you need so that you can keep learning when you are on the job. • Sampling methods, regulatory documents, remediation and reclamation techniques • This program is well put together and suited for consulting you acquire knowledge in site assessment, sampling techniques, legislation and remediation. • How to identify different plants such as weeds, crops, and many others, importance of fertilizers and soil sciences. • Communication • Time management • Networking is the best skill a person can learn. I really liked the practical teaching of soil and vegetation assessment. • Technical skills • The most important concept the program taught me was management and sustainability. • Soil classification, vegetation identification and taxonomy, project management. • Project report writing • Throughout my practicum I believe the most important concept I leaned was that even after finishing school there is so much to be learned and that you shouldn't be scared to ask for help. • Remediation techniques, environmental sensitive areas and interpersonnel skills • Soil sciences and contaminants. Also proper procedures taken for Environmental Conservation and Reclamation practices • Practical knowledge about the field of reclamation that is completely applicable to the workforce today. Other comments: • Thank you for providing me with a quality educational experience that i can hopefully turn into a successful career in the near future! • I am really glad I took the BAEM program and feel that it has really prepared me to work in the field of reclamation and remediation. • I feel that this program increased my general knowledge of reclamation and remediation and, therefore, gave me the base understanding needed to start a carreer and specialize in specific aspects of the industry. • Practicum was a good experiance • Course was very helpful in preparing me for the future in the environmental field Separate comments from students who previously took CARE and ERC that combined with the degree would set them up for a great career and even to go on to a master's degree. |
