AMS 338 - American Communal Experiments
Credits: 3.00
Throughout American history, inspired individuals have grouped together
in an attempt to craft a new American society, a utopia to improve,

such as the Oneida Perfectionists- chose a lifestyle of multiple
marriage partners. The Woman's Commonwealth was entirely female;
the Koreshan Unity believed we inhabit the inside of a hollow sphere.
By studying a variety of communal experiments from the late 18th
century to present day, we'll gain insight into the social, economic,
political, and other problems that challenged Americans in times
both past and present and led some to attempt to create a better
society. (Cross-listed with HIS 338)

measurements, with some discussion of sonar, radar and other techniques.
Application of these techniques to environmental monitoring, oceanography,
agriculture, resource management, archeology and other disciplines
will form the basis of the course. We will utilize computers to
process and analyze a variety of imagery. Students will also gain
experience using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS is a
way to enter, store, manipulate, analyze and display geographic
or spatial data. The power of these systems is in their ability
to analyze complex spatial information. GISs find application in
habitat monitoring, hazardous waste management, wildlife population
management, city planning, landscape ecology, and innumerable other
fields. The classroom and labs sessions are combined and taught
in the computer laboratory with portions of time being devoted to
theory, followed by application using remote sensing data and GIS.
