Teaching and Extension
Teaching Teaching in the Department of Entomology falls into three categories, namely four-year undergraduate students, graduate students, and short-course students. Undergraduate students interested in entomology take the "Preparation for Research" curriculum with elective courses in entomology; their training stresses a strong background in the basic sciences in preparation for specialized training in graduate school. Most students in the College of Agriculture take at least the introductory course in entomology required, of course, for all entomology majors. For graduate students a wide range of courses is offered, with emphasis on fundamental studies of insects-their structure, identification, development, and physiology-a fundamental training which has long been the objective of the department. Under Headlee a series of six credit courses were offered; more recently the department has not only split these courses into smaller units but has added courses in history, medical entomology, economic entomology, and field methods to give students an opportunity for a wider selection of courses. Courses in insecticides and apiculture have been offered for many years. A few courses are offered jointly with other departments; for example, "Arthropods and Human Disease," and "Plant Viruses and Their Insect Vectors." The more diversified list of courses which the Entomology Department has offered since 1944 is reflected in the department's increased graduate enrollment since that date.

T he main task of the department is to teach students in General Entomology, Agricultural Zoology, Systematic (Special) Entomology, Nematology, Acarology and Insect Ecology. Courses are designed such that the graduate understands the basic principles of agriculture entomology and agriculture zoology, the morphology, anatomy, physiology, ecology, plant injuries caused by insects, mites, nematodes, rodents etc., ecological principles of population dynamics of pest populations and beneficials. Essential topics are: economic significance and importance of agricultural zoology/entomology, pests of plants (general morphology, biology, ecology, nonchemical control of plant parasitic insects, mites, nematodes, mollusks, rodents etc.), beneficial animals (predators-parasites of noxious insects, mites, nematodes etc.), systematic entomology, acarology, nematology, agricultural zoology (morphology, biology and identification of orders with agricultural importance), idio-, population and community ecology of insects and their role in ecosystems. The Department of Entomology provides plant and foodstuff control services.

All Units—#31001 Colorado State University's entomology manual is an excellent reference for older teens or adult volunteer leaders. The reading level of this manual is not appropriate for young 4-H members, but parents and volunteers can assist young members with reading and then understanding the manual. Learning experiences: Members learn the parts of an insect, the importance of insects, classification of insects, and management of pest insects. Skills learned include collecting, preserving, and labeling insects. Several project ideas are presented such as planting a butterfly garden, watching an ant colony, observing water insects to determine pollution levels, insect collections, and more. Basic project literature: member's manual (also serves as an excellent leader guide), record, blank labels, order labels.

Plants, Soils, and Entomology In the area of Plants, Soils, and Entomology 4-H'ers will explore the world of plants and soil. There are three areas of study which a 4-H member can explore.
Garden: The 4-H Garden Project includes individualized lesson sheets that help youth acquire knowledge and develop skills needed to care for and manage a vegetable garden, plant trees and shrubs, grow a commercial horticulture crop, learn about career opportunities, gain an understanding of the basic principles of science relating to plant growth, and contribute to better family health by producing nutritious fruits and vegetables. The Activity Sheets can be used by the youth as a series or as individual learning activities. For more 4-H youth gardening resources visit these sites 4-H Horticulture Resources
4-H Junior Master Gardeners: 4-H JMG is a program for youth that uses fun activities to teach life skills, horticulture, and environmental science concepts. Research shows that youth gardening programs like 4-H JMG, positively impacts interpersonal skills, self esteem, student behavior, academic achievement and nutritional attitudes. Children can also get involved in exploring their world through meaningful activities that encourage leadership development, personal pride and responsibility, and community involvement.

CENTER FOR ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY
Edward J. Armbrust, Director
Public Service Illinois is constantly threatened by the appearance of new insect pests as well as changes in the behavior of existing pests that produce new and different problems. Center entomologists often are required to address these issues in a timely manner to provide Illinois citizens with management recommendations that are based on quality science and that are environmentally safe. The present western corn rootworm problem is an excellent example of a well-managed insect pest emerging as a new and different problem that has required intensive research to explain the pest's behavioral changes and its impact on corn production. Center entomologists also conduct statewide surveys for exotic pests of potential concern. Studies continue to investigate the distribution and expansion of the introduced Asian tiger mosquito in the greater Chicago metropolitan area and elsewhere in the state. Each year the Center scientists and extension affiliates cooperating with scientists in the Center for Biodiversity identify insects and arthropods for individuals and a variety of entomology projects. Insect Expo are activities that stimulate young inquiring minds. This year we have organized a number of activities to provide learning opportunities for the Community Youth Creative Learning Experience (CYCLE) program for Chicago youth. Center staff also conduct a variety of workshops and short courses and make presentations to the public at museums, public and private organizations, and the university's Agronomy Day and Ag Open House.

Teaching Activities
I teach two graduate courses, Population Ecology and Population Analysis . Population Ecology is team-taught with Dr. Kirk Moloney of Botany and it covers basic theory of population dynamics including growth models, predation, competition, and population projection. Population Analysis covers statistical and analytical techniques for estimating parameters of biological populations, and is frequently taken by students from Entomology Statistics , and Zoology/Genetics . I also teach an undergraduate course called Ecological Methods which includes elements of statistical design, population sampling and estimation, field sampling of vegetation, and mapping habitat using geographic information systems. I have been instrumental in developing computing facilities for students in biological sciences at Iowa State University. Back to Home Research Activities Teaching Activities
