Environmental Projects

Catalog description

SUS 8350B is a 3-credit graduate-level capstone research project class taught by EAS faculty members. A project topic or topics will be developed by the students and the instructor. Students will form self-organized groups and work on a project of their choice in consultation with the instructors. Projects focus on issues of environmental concern. Students may develop a topic and conduct the project individually or in teams of two or more as advised and guided by the instructor. Upon completion of the project, each group will provide a written report and an oral presentation of their work to the EAS faculty at the end of the semester. The specific class structure is developed by the instructor(s) prior to the semester and depends on student enrollment. Class time focuses on group discussion, status reporting on each group?s weekly progress, and group members working with the instructor on their respective projects. The instructor?s role is to provide guidance, organize discussions and check progress. Students will receive a weekly grade based on accomplishment, progress and participation.
