The primary focus of this project is to strengthen the Science Department and implement an associate level degree that would provide an educational foundation for students wishing to pursue careers in environmentally sustainable industries. This is not enough as many students entering the college struggle in STEM courses. Therefore we must target the local school systems through a variety of outreach programs to address weakness in these areas. Math literacy is perhaps the greatest problem and will receive special consideration at all levels.Student preparedness is not only depended on be taught high quality classes, but also requires students to take advance courses in math and science. As these courses are typically electives this project addresses this situation, in addition to increasing the overall interest in STEM.

该项目的主要重点是加强科学系，并实施副学士学位，为希望在环境可持续发展行业从事职业的学生提供教育基础。这是不够的，因为许多进入大学的学生在STEM课程中挣扎。因此，我们必须通过各种外联方案针对当地学校系统，以解决这些领域的弱点。数学素养可能是最大的问题，将在各级得到特别考虑。学生的准备不仅取决于高质量的课程，而且还要求学生参加数学和科学的高级课程。由于这些课程通常是选修课，该项目除了提高对STEM的整体兴趣外，还解决了这种情况。
