BIO1830 — SURI: Environmental I
Students will participate in environmental research that pertains to their area of interest and/or as requested by local environmental organizations. As part of this experience, students will read, interpret, and present published scientific research papers. Students will be responsible for experimental design, maintaining a laboratory journal, and acquiring the necessary laboratory and field research skills to complete their research and present their results. Students are divided into either Environmental I or Environmental II, depending on their level of experience, but are blended together in a single course. Environmental I students are expected to function as technicians. As such, they will learn how to function in a research setting, learn scientific record-keeping and how to design and perform a well controlled experiment reproducibly. Prerequisite: ENG 1510 and BIO 1551 + BIO 1552, or BIO 1570 or BIO 1580. J summer.
