Summer Environmental Engineering Research Program
Plan Goals
This plan’s goal is to expose students to the field of Environmental Engineering. This will be done through in—class instruction, field trips, and hands—on testing of water from different sites along the Watershed. Students will use the information they c

Impact Reports
Long-term Objectives
1. Contribute to the advancement and body of knowledge on youth development educational efforts statewide and nationally.
2. Develop program connectivity to other schools in the district and the surrounding geographic area.
3. Establish 1 to 3 new science center in New Mexico.
Obj. 1 - Two articles about the Center have been published in peer-reviewed publications and two abstracts have been published in national conference proceedings.
Obj. 2 – In light of the current economic situation, attempts to increase program connectivity have not been initiated.
Obj. 3 – No attempts to establish new centers undertaken due to lack of research on program impact.

1. Students discussed the impact humans and engineering have on stream health at each of their chosen sites, and
2. Using the data collected this year and in previous years, shared insight into possible causes of the identified trends in stream health.

Students analyzed the data they collected, interpreted their results and drew conclusions. These results were then shared with the Las Vegas City School Board of Education and administrators.
1. Students used the scientific method to develop hypotheses about water quality at 3 different sites on the Gallinas Watershed.
2. Students completed chemical tests and identified key indicator species of macro—invertebrates to evaluate stream health.
3. The students also calculated the water quality index using water chemistry tests and the pollution tolerance index to determine stream health.
