AB  - Expanding institutional bonds to team up students for the creation of research                           environmental projectsThe purpose of the project is the bridging of CPP Civil/Environmental Engineering students andPCC Science students to enhance the curriculum at both institutions. In addition the project seeksto enhance the retention of both CPP and PCC of students, facilitating PCC student transfer toCPP; and promoting graduate school and lifelong learning in a multidisciplinary and diverseenvironment.The project combines the training of CPP undergraduate students (without previous researchexperience) and their partnership with PCC students to develop multidisciplinary teams toworked on the design of natural treatment systems to remediate contaminated surface waterstreams. CPP engineering students were trained on how to conduct research and partnered withPCC students. Students from both institutions were mentored by CPP and PCC faculty whileconducting research. In addition, each institution had a senior student mentors assigned to thestudent groups to enhance peer-learning process. Student mentors provided support to peerstudents while conducting experimental work in the lab, with data analysis and while preparingposters and required research reports.To develop the research experience two courses were offered concurrently one at CPP and theother at PCC. Faculty in both institutions worked on developing student interaction throughfieldtrips and social media. The project platform allows sustained collaboration, amongengineers and non-engineering students and faculty via a novel approach. This study usesundergraduate research activities to create bonds between the two institutions while fulfillingcurricular requirements.
