| Community Based Programs |
Do you want to get a feel for what
it is all about? Do you want to experience, first
hand, activities that you could be performing in your
future career? The Marine Science department has
designed its community-based programs with these goals
in mind.
Each program is developed with an off campus partner and
is focused on solving an identifiable problem in the community.
It is the student's job to attain the goal! It all
starts with a meeting between the client and a student
team. This is followed by the development of a proposal,
which is presented to the client. Then comes the work.
A mix of laboratory and field activities with the student
teams in charge. We instructors take on a support
role for each team helping them identify resources and
personnel that could be helpful to the project (don't
be surprised to have us fully involved in the field activities,
we still love it!). At the completion of the work
a report is prepared and at a final meeting it is presented
to the client.
What better way is there to learn than through your participation
in a real activity that solves a problem for your community?
