ENE 490 - Independent Study in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, or Geoscience


Description
ENE 490’s are a one or two semester-long research collaboration between a student and a faculty member. Each project involves a research question or scholarly problem where the student will hone skills such as understanding primary literature, collecting and interpreting data, and professional presentation of their work. Students will likely give oral or poster presentations at the spring F&M Research Fair and/or at professional meetings. A written document is expected at the conclusion of the 490. Students who would like to do a 490 should speak with ENE faculty in the area(s) that they are interested in pursuing. Each semester 490 is one course credit. Permission of the faculty member and Department Chair is required and registration for 490’s occurs right away in the beginning of each semester. Departmental Honors is usually based on a two semester 490.
Credits: 0.5 or 1
