This course enhances the thesis research experience for students in the iCons program through peer support teams and advanced scientific communication as students prepare to present their research findings at the Statewide Undergraduate Conference and at the iCons Senior Exposition. This course satisfies Integrative Experience criterion #1 by providing a structured context for students to reflect on and to integrate their previous learning as they prepare to present their senior research findings in these two public forums.

A research experience for incoming first-year students, who will work on a project directly related to a faculty member's research. Participants will be integrated into the faculty research group and participate in regular group meetings and one-on-one meetings with senior mentors. Students will study relevant prior published work, write a background and proposal paper and a final report in the form of a journal article. Participants will receive appropriate training in safety, and good laboratory practice including how to record experimental results.

This 4-credit course brings together topics from Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Natural Systems, and Social Systems in the context of real world scientific issues. Students will be expected to grapple with the scientific underpinnings of complex problems, including issues surrounding Clean Water, Climate Change, Energy Demands, and Disease and Biomedicine. Case studies will serve as the format/foundation in which students will learn and use fundamental scientific principles to investigate these challenges and quantify the scientific contributions to solutions.

iCons III: "Team-Oriented Lab Discovery in Renewable Energy" involves student-driven, team-oriented laboratory projects focused on the interrelated principles of energy generation, conversion, storage and consumption, particularly emphasizing the science underlying renewable energy systems. Projects incorporate experimental techniques from the chemical, physical, mathematical, and life sciences. The intent of this course is to examine cross-disciplinary methods to address real world energy-related issues.
