writing competitive analysis reflection data analysis researchStudents in the third year of the Environmental Technology program will undertake semester-long, project-based learning with industry or community partners to participate in the development and execution of an applied project. The objective of the collaborative applied project is to have students, as team members in a workplace setting, apply and integrate the skill sets and knowledge that form the core of their training in these programs. In this way, they augment their academic training with valuable work experience, and an opportunity to experience alternative methods of evaluation and measures of success that are less typical of academic environments.
