Environmental Science and Technology Young Scholars Program

埃塞克斯社区学院将启动为期4周的，通勤，年轻 学者项目在环境科学为20名学生在8年级。 该项目允许年轻学者与研究科学家合作， 科学教师在实验室和外地站完成 环境科学的独立研究项目，从而激励 并鼓励他们从事环境科学事业。 的 该计划的重点是向学生展示， 环境科学是建立在跨学科研究的基础上， 化学、生物学、数学和电子学。 因此，相关 这些学科中的每一个与环境有关的组成部分 科学呈现。 为期4周的夏令营是一个密集的 培训期，在此期间，学生参加讲座并学习 他们将使用这些技能来设计和实施环境 研究项目在学年。学生使用生物 监测技术、经典生态学研究方法和化学 研究特定主要污染物的生态效应的测定法 在特定的研究领域。 然后每个学生准备一份书面总结 他们的工作，在杂志的风格，并提出了研究结果在模拟 研讨会将在后续周末务虚会期间举行， 在学年结束时举行。

Essex Community College will initiate a 4-week, commuter, Young Scholars project in Environmental Science for 20 students in grade 8. This project allows young scholars to work with research scientists and science teachers in laboratories and at field stations to complete independent research projects in environmental science, thus motivating and encouraging them to pursue careers in environmental science. The focus of the program is to demonstrate to the students that environmental science is founded on interdisciplinary research based on chemistry, biology, mathematics, and electronics. Therefore, pertinent components of each of these disciplines that relate to environmental science is presented. The 4-week summer camp serves as an intensive training period during which time the students attend lectures and learn skills which they will use to design and carry out environmental research projects during the academic year. Students use biological monitoring techniques, classical ecological study methods, and chemical assays to study the ecological effects of particular primary pollutants on specified study areas. Each student then prepares a written summary of their work, in journal style, and presents the findings at a mock symposium to be held during a follow-up weekend retreat which takes place at the end of the academic year.
