Evaluation1.IntroductionThe Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in North America, stretching nearly 300 km long andpossessing a watershed spanning parts of six Mid-Atlantic States and more that 165,700 km3. Itis a vital resource to more than 16 million people that live in its watershed and beyond, providingfood, jobs, habitat, recreation, and other benefits. It is, however, a fragile resource madeespecially vulnerable to eutrophication (nutrient-enrichment) due to its long dendritic shorelineand the many human activities that are prevalent. These include high concentrations ofagricultural activities as well as several major population centers3, 10. Additionally, theChesapeake Bay has a large ratio of watershed area to estuarine area, (14.3:1) which

Once data were cleaned and processed, we were able toconduct statistical analyses that addressed the two research questions.The study population (post-data cleaning) consists of 876 students in freshman engineering fromFall 2013 at a large, Mid-Atlantic research university. Students who opted-out of having theirdata part of the on-going research project were removed from the data set.

The same collaborationcould work for two sections for a slight increase in budget. These costs are modest, and industrysupport is a real possibility since industry interest in this type of project is growing. AlthoughISDN lines guarantee quality connections, they are expensive and accounted for almost half ofthe total cost.
