Course Design Matrix

Introduction
The purpose of the Course Design Matrix (CDM) is to establish the foundation of your online course. This document will guide the planning, design, and development of your course.
The CDM should be updated through the course development to reflect any revisions to the course design. Please feel free to contact your instructional designer if you have any
questions or need additional guidance.

2. Course Description
In the space below, provide the description of your course. The Course Description is found in the EP Course Catalog (http://catalog.ep.jhu.edu/), and should not be modified without
written consent from your program chair.

Example: Through lectures and laboratory exercises, this course illustrates the fundamental concepts of GIS and remote sensing technologies in the context of environmental engineering.
Topics include the physical basis for remote sensing, remote sensing systems, digital image processing, data structures, database design, and spatial data analysis. The course is not
intended to provide students with extensive training in particular image processing or GIS packages. However, hands-on computer laboratory sessions re-enforce critical concepts. Working
knowledge of personal computers and completion of a term project are required.

3. Course Learning Objectives

In the space below, provide the course learning objectives. Course learning objectives are measurable, observable statements that describe what the students will be able to do after
completing this course.

Example:
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
1
  Explain theoretical principles and practical approaches to create, promulgate, and maintain communications in a technical organization.
 Apply strategies and skills for navigating communications in technical organizations at all management levels.
 Create written and oral communications important at various levels of management in a technical organization.
 Challenge classical assumptions about good communications and employ situational awareness as a foundation tool.
