Spring 2026 Lecture PracticumUpper Division
This course provides imbedded programmatic experiences for undergraduate students. It introduces students to the breadth of the discipline of entomology by engaging them at a programmatic level. This is accomplished by incorporating students into laboratory meetings, research, extension or teaching activities and through discussions with the faculty instructor about the goals and motivations driving their weekly research, extension or teaching activities and how these activities address societal grand challenges. All students enrolled in ENTM 39310 will be required at the end of each of the 8-week sessions and provide a recorded presentation overviewing some aspect of the mentor's program and its linkage to societal grand challenges. Permission of department required.
