This project produces scientifically literate, environmentally aware citizens among non-science majors, and competitively educated, critically thinking environmental biology majors. The focus is a watershed-stream complex integral to the campus. The scientific method is experienced by students through hands-on data acquisition, analyses and interpretations in assigned class-cooperative research projects. To educate students in policy processes, multiple classes coordinate data to produce an environmental impact assessment, at least once a year. The project also emphasizes the importance of data quality objectives, sampling protocols, precision in the field, documentation, and adequate databases from which the students can draw conclusions. Underrepresented groups in science are addressed, and a strong component involves field practicum experiences for individuals pursuing a teaching career with an emphasis in environmental studies.

该项目在非科学专业学生中培养具有科学素养、环境意识的公民，并培养具有竞争力、批判性思维的环境生物学专业学生。重点是一个分水岭流复杂的校园不可分割的。科学方法是由学生通过动手数据采集，分析和解释分配类合作研究项目经验。为了教育学生在政策过程中，多个类协调数据，以产生环境影响评估，至少每年一次。该项目还强调了数据质量目标、采样协议、实地精度、文件和学生可以从中得出结论的适当数据库的重要性。科学领域代表性不足的群体得到了解决，其中一个重要的组成部分是为从事环境研究教学职业的个人提供实地实习经验。
