In this course students will design, implement and present a research project involving a literature review, laboratory or fieldwork. Students are required to obtain the permission of a faculty member who will supervise the project (existing faculty allow a broad range of research topics). The Graduate Chair and the supervising faculty member must approve a detailed project proposal outlining the objectives and scope of the project. The research will be written up in a research journal format and will be evaluated by a small committee. The course is restricted to UTSC students in one of the approved Combined Degree Program options with the MEnvSc.
