ENVS 4201

(3 Credits) 3 Lecture, Blended, Online hours, 3 Laboratory hours This course gives students an opportunity to carry out an independent research project under the supervision of a faculty member. Even though the scientific basis of the research project may be pre-established, each student will be required to develop a research topic, and will develop valuable skills while carrying out the project. These skills include integration of knowledge and perspectives across disciplinary boundaries, familiarity with experimental techniques, generation of research hypotheses, accessing and utilizing literature, collection and analysis of data and the opportunity to formulate, execute and present ideas in written and oral formats. The project will bring together knowledge and skills acquired in previous years from the Environmental Science Degree Program.
