EES 217 - The Acadia Lessons Project: Field Problems in EES

This course is an intensive field experience for EES majors. EES undergraduates will stay at the Schoodic Education and Research Center at Acadia National Park for an intensive 2.5-day weekend program that will immerse them in Acadia’s rich science and cultural research history, then challenge students to assess and highlight future challenges and approaches to the next century of National Park science and management.  Students will be introduced to a relevant problem or issue facing stakeholders in the field of ecology and environmental sciences, and will work in teams to research, synthesize, and present what they’ve learned.  The location provides a setting rich with opportunities for outdoor experience, interactions with scientists in residence, and varied local, regional, and national stakeholders with whom we will collaborate on the Lessons Project.  Students will travel to the Schoodic campus by bus, leaving UMaine Friday afternoon and returning to campus Sunday evening.  This course is a required weekend field experience for EES majors.
