EXPERIENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATES PROGRAM
Summer 2008: 9 June - 15 August 2008
Purpose
This research experience program will provide undergraduate
students with laboratory and field training in aquatic
science (including lake and ocean systems) with extensive
shipboard field research opportunities. The goal
of this activity is to develop, through hands-on
experience, future scholars to pursue Interdisciplinary
research toward an understanding of the aquatic environment.
Description
The program will consist of a work-experience program
in the laboratory and in the field, under the supervision
of a research director. In consultation with the
research director, students will prepare a written
research plan, conduct the proposed work, prepare
a project summary and give an oral presentation of
the results at the close of the session. Team Investigations
will join students and faculty from several disciplines
working on a major research project. Click
