EES1114H provides an opportunity for a Master of Environmental Science (MEnvSc) student to work closely with a member of the faculty in order to conduct a literature review, a research proposal, and/or some preliminary investigations on a particular topic. The course can be used as a stand-alone experience that counts towards credits required for the MEnvSc degree. It is also frequently a requirement for MEnvSc students enrolled in the research option. In the BITAS and CCIA fields students must complete EES1114H or EES1115H in order to proceed to the research project (EES1101Y) required for graduation. The faculty supervisor will determine in which way the EES1114H course will be used and what the expected product will be, based on the three models above - or mixtures of them.
