Green Engineering Project Presentation – Colony Collapse Disorder
For the GES Project, my group and I researched the Colony Collapse Disorder in bees. I learned that CCD is an ongoing issue in the world of bees, and new and improved technology is being invented to prevent the extinction of bees. I gained a lot of knowledge from this project, especially in terms of utilizing credible sources. Journal articles were something that I was unfamiliar with before taking part in this project, and now I am aware of where to find them, how to read through them quickly to grasp significant information, and how to create an annotated bibliography based on what I read. This project was very useful to me, as I got more experience in working with a group of people. Working in teams helps me learn the material a lot better, as there are the other group members who can explain certain ideas to me if I need help. Likewise, explaining concepts to others proves to me that I have fully understood the project topic.
