The institution is developing a watershed learning environment for their Integrated Natural Resources Technology program's innovative and successful curriculum. The Watershed Research and Assessment Project (WRAP) adds a contextual framework to the existing curriculum by integrating it physically into a small watershed so that students experience the interconnectedness and complexity of an ecosystem. This approach produces multi-disciplinary natural resource technicians with the knowledge, comprehension, and skills to support efforts for solving key environmental issues in the region. An important aspect of the program is the involvement of area high schools and local communities in the learning process. The project enables these groups to participate in collaborative watershed studies. The interdisciplinary faculty include those with extensive technician and technology education, as well as research and natural resources management experience. They are uniquely suited to develop and disseminate the Watershed Research and Assessment Project material and methods to high schools, community colleges and community groups.

该机构正在为他们的综合自然资源技术计划的创新和成功的课程开发一个分水岭学习环境。流域研究和评估项目（WRAP）通过将其物理整合到一个小流域，使学生体验到生态系统的相互关联性和复杂性，为现有的课程增加了一个上下文框架。这种方法产生多学科的自然资源技术人员的知识，理解和技能，以支持解决该地区的关键环境问题的努力。该方案的一个重要方面是地区高中和当地社区参与学习过程。该项目使这些团体能够参与合作流域研究。跨学科的教师包括那些具有广泛的技术和技术教育，以及研究和自然资源管理经验。他们是唯一适合开发和传播流域研究和评估项目的材料和方法，高中，社区学院和社区团体。
