Overview
Subject areas are identified that are important to achieving the goals of the discipline, but which have not been explored or developed. The Geography and Environmental Engineering student at Johns Hopkins University will propose new research to improve understanding in this key area.
Features
- A research proposal should then outline, in an orderly and logical manner, how key questions are addressed.
- While pursuing these research hypotheses, the student must take time to consider alternative explanations for experimental observations, and devise new experiments that critically test assumptions and theories.
