The Department of Soil Sciences and Water Resources organized a practical field lesson for first-year students as part of the Fundamentals of Soil Science course, aimed at strengthening students’ understanding of the scientific principles of soil sampling in agricultural fields.
Through this field-based training, students learned the correct methods for collecting soil samples, identifying appropriate sampling depths, and preparing samples for laboratory analysis in order to obtain accurate results that truly reflect soil conditions.
This activity reflects the department’s commitment to enhancing the practical dimension of education and linking theoretical knowledge with field application. It also contributes to developing students’ technical skills and preparing them for future work related to the physical and chemical analysis of soils.
The activity further supports the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4: Quality Education, by promoting hands-on learning and advancing students’ practical competencies.
