Some students assist faculty on research projects for area agencies. Examples include: flood plain and land use inventories for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: housing surveys for the Neighbor-hood Housing Survey, Davenport, Iowa; architectural surveys for Rock Island and Moline; a watershed land use and water quality study, U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Service.
