NREM Undergraduate Capstone Projects

The NREM B.Sc. program requires senior-level undergraduate students to complete a capstone class to

• integrate and apply knowledge from their undergraduate studies in NREM
• use information, scientific methods and management tools to address a real-world environmental problem
• develop career-related skills in team collaboration, project management, oral and written communications.

The department currently offers NREM 494 Environmental Problem Solving as its capstone course. The class introduces ecosystem management concepts and guides student teams in conducting case studies at a local site. Case study results are presented by students in a seminar at the end of a semester. Recent years are given in links below.
