Students are conducting publishable work on Brandywine Creek water quality, testing for endocrine disruptors as well as other general characteristics of water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students are using the science department\u2019s own water quality tools, and have used&nbsp;Gas Chromatography in an off-campus&nbsp;lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Esosa Iriowen has lead the charge on this course, and has big plans for it for the future.&nbsp; The research is&nbsp;currently operating under a research&nbsp;permit from Brandywine State Park, and it is Iriowen&#8217;s&nbsp;hope that work there will&nbsp;add to the body of knowledge informing the health of Brandywine Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One student noted of the course: \u201cDr. Muldrow, Thank you for offering this class! Learning is so much easier when you are actually doing the work, instead of watching others do it on a video or reading about it. It is very refreshing to have the opportunity to get out of the classroom and gain hands-on experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can immediately incorporate experiences from this course on their resumes to enhance job prospects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The environmental science and policy program debuted a new course in the Fall 2018 semester, Research in Environmental Science.
