Study and independent work on selected problems related to natural resources and environmental science conducted under the supervision of a faculty member and with clear relevance to the student's Analytic Skills Development Area (ASDA) and/or Environmental Systems Emphasis Area (ESEA). The goal of NRE 395 is for students interested in research to have an authentic research experience, working directly with a faculty member or graduate student in data collection and analysis, as well as conducting a portion of the research independently.
A learning experience in natural resources and environmental sciences conducted under the direction of a faculty member and with clear relevance to the student's Analytic Skills Development Area (ASDA) and/or Environmental Systems Emphasis Area (ESEA) with supervision from an onsite supervisor. The goal of this requirement is to provide the student with pre-professional learning experience in their chosen emphasis area within natural resources and environmental science. A typed and signed Learning Contract must be completed, submitted, and approved prior to the start of the experience.
This course utilizes the experience from NRE 395 or NRE 399 to expand the composition and communication knowledge, skills, and abilities developed in CIS/WRD 110/111/112 or equivalent while integrating discipline specific sources in a process that requires a draft, feedback, and revision on composition and communication products. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course for NRES; thus it is unlikely that requests to replace this course with a course transferred from another institution will be approved.
