Introduction to Global One Health provides students with foundational skills in interdisciplinary approaches to solving complex One Health problems. Topics covered include the history of One Health, defining the components of One Health systems (human, animal, plant, environmental, and ecosystem health), and global challenges where the One Health framework can be employed. The course emphasizes learning and articulating One Health philosophy, theory and frameworks, and developing holistic approaches to problem solving in teams. In addition, the course highlights the importance of community engagement, encouraging students to collaborate with local and global communities to design culturally relevant and sustainable solutions to One Health problems. Through a combination of lectures, discussions and collaborative problem-solving activities, students will apply One Health philosophy and frameworks.

Citizen science involves collective efforts that produce discoveries that scientists cannot achieve alone. Through project-based learning, students will become familiar with academic and gray literature across disciplines about citizen science and other forms of participatory research such as community mapping, volunteer monitoring, crowdsourcing, participatory sensing, and community-driven science. Students will critically examine ethical, legal, and emergent issues, and analyze theory and practice with particular attention to data quality, informal science learning, and democratization of science in society.

Students in this course gain hands-on experience in project management by organizing, implementing, analyzing, and assessing a citizen science event. With NC State Libraries as a partner in shaping the theme for an annual event to engage the student body, student work individually and in teams to facilitate engagement in an existing citizen science project. Activities might include recruitment presentations in residential villages, undergraduate courses, and public events, tabling and project demonstrations during the event, preparing data visualizations for individual report-backs and collective data summaries, and assessing measurable outcomes. The annual events will help NC State become a data-rich campus.
