Students in 'Introduction to Environmental Science' (ENVS 201) put their knowledge of scientific method, ecology, and water quality in order to design and conduct water quality studies in the Monterey area on local ponds, outfalls, and the ocean. They gather data, analyze the data, and present their findings to their classmates in a their semester final project. The majority of ENVS 201 students are non-science majors. With this project, they learn what it is to be a scientist.
