Science Objectives

• Two target undergraduate student audiences:

- Lower division: course maintains student science interestsbeyond general education.

- Upper division: course counts towards major; providesleadership experience.

Course Objectives:

• To provide students with an opportunity to practicetechniques learned in science classes.

• To develop interdisciplinary communication andinteraction between scientists and engineers.

• To develop interdisciplinary interaction between scientists(currently astronomers, geologists, physicists, marinebiologists, computer scientists).

• To immerse students in the grant writing process.
