Immerse yourself in the diverse aspects of the Environmental Science and Technology Department (ENST) with the Field Exploration in Environmental Science and Technology course. In this hands-on course, both the outdoors and the laboratory serve as your classroom. You will travel by foot, bus, and boat to a variety of ecosystems, from forests and wetlands to urban rivers and the open Bay. Along the way, you will explore many of the ecological challenges posed by human activities. Under expert guidance, you will learn and apply field methods and laboratory techniques, gaining a deeper understanding of how environmental scientists address humanity's grand challenges through scientific data collection and analysis. Each field experience, corresponding discussion, and laboratory analysis is designed to enhance your ecological literacy by engaging directly with the environment and the professionals working to understand and protect it.
