ES490 Environmental Issues Sr Capstone

The Environmental Issues Senior Capstone Project allows Environmental Science and Environmental Studies majors to collaborate on a project designed to help solve an environmental problem. Students will choose the project and lay the groundwork in ES480 Junior Seminar the previous spring. The projects allow the students to take a multi-disciplinary, inquiry-based approach to the issue. Facilitated by the faculty, students get out into the field and meet community members and environmental professionals. Students apply the skills and knowledge learned in earlier classes to a real-world situation. All students will develop individualized pathways within the larger project, to conduct research, devise a plan, and do the actual work to implement their solutions. Prerequisites: ES480, CIT222, MT151, or higher, and have Senior status.
