The Fisheries and Wildlife Technology program places an emphasis on hands-on learning. Within most classes students participate in a wide variety of activities very similar to those they will conduct when they join the profession. Examples of activities include radio-tracking wildlife, capture and marking of wildlife, identification of animal sign, and habitat assessment surveys.
