Introduction Public Services Center for Aquatic Ecology Center for Biodiversity ... INHS Homepage 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.

Mission Summary The mission of the Department of Entomology at Virginia Tech is to provide professional expertise concerning arthropods to the Commonwealth, the nation, and the world. This includes teaching and advising undergraduates, teaching and training graduate students, conducting basic and applied research on arthropods and disseminating the results, making information about management of arthropods and the usefulness of beneficial arthropods available to clientele and the public, developing management strategies for arthropod pests in Virginia, fostering development of entomological expertise at the international level, and contributing to debate on pertinent University, State, or National issues. The Review as a Planning Process We approached this review as a planning exercise, emphasizing the future. The plan focuses on four areas of emphasis: Teaching, IPM, Environment/Pesticides, and Information Technology. For each area, we developed a review document, and we've organized this website, an evolving snapshot of our department, based on those four areas. Department Head's Statement External Factors Influencing the Department since 1992 Accomplishments Department's Strengths PDF Versions for Printing: External Factors Accomplishments Strengths Areas of Emphasis Our teaching program involves instruction at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The undergraduate courses are directed at basic and applied entomology and serve the needs of students in many disciplines. The department does not offer an undergraduate degree, but provides service courses, a University core curriculum course, courses for the Agricultural Technology Program, and an undergraduate concentration (i.e.; minor). Entomology faculty also teach courses in Biology, Forestry, and Agricultural Life Sciences.

Adapted from "Six-Legged Science: Insects in the Classroom," by G.A. Dunn. Updated 10/04 by Blake Newton, Extension Specialist Insects are an excellent resource for science education. Many insects are easily maintained in the classroom and can happily thrive despite being handled and kept in captivity. The remarkable diversity in form and function of commonly found insects promotes interest and enthusiasm in observing the natural world. Insects can also be used to model a variety of scientific principles. The objectives of this page are to give educators basic information about insects and ideas on how to use insects in the classroom.

26. Teaching And Extension Teaching in the Department of entomology falls into three categories, problems has always been a vital part of Department of entomology activities. http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/teachex.htm

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.

Professor Otto Lugger was appointed entomologist of the Experiment Station and lecturer in Entomology in the School of Agriculture. He quickly developed a reputation for aiding farmers with practical solutions to insect problems and initiated publication of an annual report for agriculturists. Concurrently, Dr. O. W. Oestlund served as entomologist with the Minnesota Geological and Natural History Survey from 1885 to 1890. In 1891, Dr. Oestlund became a member of the faculty of the Department of Animal Biology on the Minneapolis campus, where he taught elementary and advanced courses in entomology until his retirement in 1926.

39. Careers In Entomology There are many opportunities for teaching entomology at colleges, Many statesalso have laws regulating the activities of pest control operators http://members.aol.com/YESedu/careers.html

Careers in Entomology by Gary A. Dunn, M.S., F.R.E.S., Director of Education (Professional and hobby entomologist) INTRODUCTION Perhaps you've thought about making entomology your career. What do entomologists do? An entomologist is a scientist who studies insects. Entomologists have many important jobs. Some entomologists' study the classification, life cycle, distribution, physiology, behavior, ecology, or population dynamics of insects. Other entomologists study urban pests, forest pests, agricultural pests, or medical and veterinary pests and their control; some work with beneficial insects like honey bees, silkworms, ladybird beetles, and parasitic wasps. Entomologists are researchers, teachers, or consultants, and may work for private companies, universities, or government agencies. PROFESSIONAL ENTOMOLOGY About 8,000 men and women are professional entomologists in the United States. They work in jobs that include teaching about insects, working as extension entomologists, raising bees, enforcing quarantines and regulations, doing insect survey work, consulting on integrated pest management topics, selling insecticides, controlling pests, and conducting research on insect classification, taxonomy, biology, ecology, behavior, or control. The greatest number are employed in some aspect of economic or applied entomology dealing with the control of harmful insects. There are also tens of thousands of amateur entomologists and hobbyists who study insects without pay, and who provide valuable information on insect distributions, seasonal activity patterns, identification, life cycles, behavior, and more.
