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.

为期一年的续约计划将支持四名在读学生进行第二年的研究。这些学生目前在实验室从事活跃的研究项目，重点是环境生物学，包括濒危物种的分子系统学、群落生态学、环境生理学和昆虫行为。我们将继续积极监测他们的进展和指导经验。除了他们的研究活动，学生们还将参加一系列研讨会，这将使他们接触到环境科学的职业机会和伦理问题，并将参加短期的实地考察。在他们的最后一个学期，他们将完成他们的项目，分析数据，并写下他们的结果，以便在科学会议上发表和展示。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，学生将有机会继续在大学内进行其他研究。
