Meteorology Degree Information
The meteorology course of study at Valparaiso University is a dual-track program leading to either a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology or a Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Meteorology. Requirements for the latter option, designed for those interested in careers with the media, are found below The science of meteorology draws heavily on the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. As such, students considering the Bachelor of Science option should possess a strong mathematics and science background. The job market in meteorology is as rich and diverse in scope as the field itself. A majority enter the job market with the National Weather Service, airlines, and private forecasting and environmental consulting firms. Graduate training is required for careers in research and academia. Students interested in extracurricular learning opportunities are encouraged to participate in the Meteorology Club and avail themselves of the program's field course opportunities, including the Severe Convective Storm Field Studies. Internships and cooperative education experiences are also available to qualified students. The department maintains a well-equipped weather center with instrumented tower, DIFAX, McIDAs-OS/2, and Dopple radar data available. Meteorology Major.

The increasing frequency with which students access the Internet gives them an increased opportunity to observe and follow local and large-scale weather patterns. Using simple, interactive web sites, students can also make regular forecasts which can be scored and analyzed. We have conducted semester-long weather forecasting exercises at introductory meteorology courses at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Michigan, and have tracked student progress in their ability to make informed, intelligent forecasts. In this presentation we will assess the effectiveness of the forecasting exercises, and discuss design considerations for future, improved exercises. AMS Home Page

Ninth Symposium on Education
ENHANCING CONTENT KNOWLEDGE RETENTION IN INTRODUCTORY METEOROLOGY COURSES: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LARGE-LECTURE CLASSES
Donna J. Charlevoix
Univ. of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801-3070. and Rene T. Stofflett. During the 1997-1998 academic year a pilot study on the content knowledge retention of undergraduate students enrolled in introduction to meteorology courses at the University of Illinois was initiated. The first phase of the study included interviewing students several months after completion of the course using a semi-clinical interviewing strategy. Initial results of these interviews were presented at the 8th Symposium on Education. The preliminary results were drawn from approximately the first quarter of the interview, which focused on general topics including basic meteorological definitions. The remaining data included surface and upper air map interpretation and understanding, force balance, cloud formation/dissipation, and thunderstorm dynamics. The second phase of this study included full examination of the interview data (preliminary analysis data plus remaining interview data) to determine what, if any, alternative pedagogy should be incorporated into the course. Data analyses were conducted using a qualitative research computer program (NU*DIST) to parse and sort interviews. Interviews were coded according to student response and data were searched and sorted by identifying similar interview segments. Results from analysis of the full interviews suggest that changes in pedagogy should be incorporated in the course to foster enhanced material retention. Recommendations include: (a) lecture-based classes should be supplemented with hands-on activities or supplemental active learning exercises during the class, (b) a discussion or laboratory section should be added to foster student-instructor interaction, and (c) a discussion meeting or laboratory section should replace one of the lecture sessions to allow for direction student-instructor interaction with active learning exercises. Future offerings of the course during the fall and spring semesters of the 1999-2000 academic year will incorporate recommendations as is feasible.

    STUDENT INFORMATION
    ADVISING HIGHLIGHTS FOR INCOMING METEOROLOGY UNDERGRADUATES
    You are in college now, so you must be responsible for yourself. Your advisor's purpose is to help answer your questions, but you are responsible for making decisions. To be safe, verify any academic advice before you act on it. This is especially true if you hear about a rule from another student. Most students find FSU more difficult than their high school or previous college. This is due partly to our high academic standards and partly to the problems anyone has in adjusting to a new city and a large school. So work hard and don't let yourself fall behind in your classes. Important reading:
    • Undergraduate degree requirements as listed in the current FSU General Bulletin. For example, you must earn at least 9 credits in summer school at a 4-year university operated by the State of Florida unless you transfer to FSU with 60 or more credits. If you need help, see your advisor if you have a technical question about meteorology, career paths, or the content of prerequisite courses. See Terri Johnson (404 Love, 644-8582) or Nancy Whaley (403 Love, 644-8580) if you have a question dealing with university regulations and/or bureaucracy (trouble getting into a needed math course, etc. Liberal studies requirements as listed in the current FSU General Bulletin. Some transfer students will have satisfied these requirements at their last school. The Meteorology Department does not care what liberal studies courses you take.

As such, it encompasses a broad spectrum of studies and draws from the other basic sciences: chemistry, physics, and biology. Meteorology is the study of atmospheric phenomena and the processes that cause weather. The science of meteorology is firmly rooted in basic physical laws governing mass, momentum, and energy. Many weather processes are simulated by complex computer models; however, accurate weather analysis and forecasting often requires meteorologists to identify and conceptualize weather patterns often missed by automated techniques.

    ON-CAMPUS METEOROLOGY PROGRAM FAQ
    Mississippi State University
    METEOROLOGIST JEFF HABY
    FAQ BY TOPIC
    Topic: Location
    Where is Mississippi State?
    Mississippi State is located in northeast Mississippi in the upland South. The surrounding area is very rural and is fairly densely vegetated. Mississippi State is located in the city of Starkville.
    What major cities are near Mississippi State?
    Jackon, MS. Birmingham, AL. and Memphis, TN. are each about a 2.5 hour drive. Atlanta and New Orleans are each about a 5 hour drive. Tuscaloosa (where the University of Alabama is located) is about a 1.5 hour drive.
    How much commuting will I have to do on campus?
    All meteorology courses will be taken in the same building: Hilbun Hall. A bicycle is not necessary to get around campus. Most locations on campus are within easy walking distance. Car parking can be difficult unless you get to class early. Hilbun Hall Topic: Weather Does the program storm chase? We have the NOMISSIT storm spotters. They go out in teams when severe weather threatens. There is also a yearly Great Plains storm chase that lasts for about 2 weeks in May. How is storm chasing in Mississippi?
