Students in Environmental and Earth Science Professor Christopher Picone's Ecology Lab wrapped up a week long experiment involving the tomato horn worm feeding and growth. The subjects were fed a certain amount of natural or manmade food, and then they, and their waste, was weighed and recorded. Some subjects' weight increased 10X their starting weight.

Students in Engineering Technology Professor Wayne Whitfield's Engineering Design & Fabrication II course continue working on their projects. This course studies mass production theory, systems and procedures in woodworking and residential construction, includes engineering design and leads to prototype development. 

Students in Dr. Lisa Grimm's Life Science for Educators investigate the reproduction of plants in their lab. This course covers a broad array of life science topics including cellular, organismal, and human biology. It is designed to provide a foundation in the life sciences for education majors (K-8). The course includes a laboratory component designed to develop the students' understanding of the scientific method and provide some biology methodologies that will aid students in the development of lesson plans and classroom activities. An integrative approach is taken for some aspects of this course to establish connections to other sciences (earth science, chemistry, engineering).

Students in Environmental and Earth Science Professor Christopher Picone's Ecology Lab conduct a week long experiment revolving around the tomato horn worm. The subject is weighed, fed a certain amount of natural or manmade food, as well as their waste. The students study the dynamic relationships between organisms and their environment through field and laboratory work emphasizing problem identification, formulation of hypotheses, data collection, and analysis and interpretation of results in terms of their biological implications.

This afternoon, the Career Services and Advising Center held an  Exploration Fair in the Hammond Main Lounge.  Fitchburg State University's School of Graduate, Online and Continuing Education (SGOCE) along with local university's graduate school programs, provided this as opportunity for schools to meet the talented students at Fitchburg State University, and connect with potential graduate students. This was an opportunity for our students to learn about graduate school programs, and receive information about the application process.

Criminal Justice Professor Michael S. McCutcheon recently held a Fingerprint Collecting & Identifying event for students and anyone interested in the process. Fellow Criminal Justice Professor David Weiss took the opportunity to learn a thing or two.
