Description: Provide an opportunity for students to work on a consulting project with a researcher/client using real environmental data. The students will work with faculty at NCSU or scientists from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency or scientists from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). The students will meet informally every week. The course will focus on the application of the student's technical skills, the students' interaction with clients, the analysis of environmental data, the development of their writing and oral skills, effective report writing, making presentations to faculty and outside scientists. The students will make a field trip to see how environmental data are collected as part of the course and will present the results of their work to the scientists with whom they consult.
