The 1-year UMEB renewal will support four current students for their second year of research. The students are currently engaged in active research programs in laboratories with an emphasis on environmental biology, including molecular systematics of endangered species, community ecology, environmental physiology, and insect behavior. We will continue active monitoring of their progress and mentoring experiences. In addition to their research activities, the students will participate in a seminar series that will expose them to career opportunities and ethical issues in environmental science, and will participate in short field trips. During their final semester, they will complete their projects, analyse data, and write up their results for publication and presentation at a scientific meeting. Assessment tools will be used to determine the extent of their understanding of the scientific method, critical thinking, and development of self confidence. The students will then have the opportunity to move on to other research opportunities within the University.

1年的UMEB续约将为四名学生提供研究的第二年研究。 这些学生目前正在从事实验室的积极研究计划，重点是环境生物学，包括濒危物种的分子系统，社区生态学，环境生理和昆虫行为。我们将继续积极监控他们的进步和指导经验。 除了研究活动外，学生还将参加一个研讨会系列，该系列将使他们面临环境科学领域的职业机会和道德问题，并将参加短期旅行。在最后一个学期，他们将完成项目，分析数据并在科学会议上写出其出版和演示结果。 评估工具将用于确定他们对科学方法，批判性思维和自信心发展的理解程度。 然后，学生将有机会继续进入大学内的其他研究机会。
