3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to environmental data collection, data management and ecosystem monitoring techniques. Students will also have the opportunity to develop their understanding of the scientific method by investigating the many ecosystems that make up the Endicott campus. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Environmental changes and consequences that accompany anthropogenic development and industrialization will be discussed. The student will actively participate in a chronological and systematic investigation of the connections and relationships between ecological systems, energy, raw materials, western industrialization, environmental degradation, and third world population. The content of the course will ultimately serve to establish an historical reference point which will allow for analysis of current environmental status and national policy. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
A basic investigation of the natural and human originated processes that influence ocean life in the intertidal, coral reef, and continental shelf to deep sea habits. Life patterns, adaptations and interrelationships of organisms from mammals to plankton are addressed. The laboratory includes campus field work and local field trips. Class, three hours; lab, two hours per week. Prior science study preferred but not required. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 4)
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of Earth's surface processes, the course examines the causes, locations, and effects of natural and man-made hazards through scientific inquiry and investigation. A focus on mitigation strategies is an important component of this course. Understanding natural hazards as natural processes fosters civic literacy locally, nationally, and globally. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Relationships between the living and nonliving components of Arctic, Tropical and temperate ecosystems are discovered and compared. Effects of global and local occurrences on the origin and distribution of species and modern practices of conservation are emphasized. The laboratory includes campus field work and local field trips. Prior science preferred but not required. Satisfies Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes BIO 130 or permission of instructor. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides various skills needed to perform methodological and statistical research in scientific fields, and therefore helps prepare the student for the required science-based Thesis I and II experiences. There will be emphasis on the development of testable questions, and acquisition of strategies for critically reading, understanding and evaluating scientific literature. Also, a working understanding of research design and implementation with an emphasis on real world full utilization of statistical analysis, and interpretation and presentation of results will be focal. Satisfies the Science and Math and Writing Designated core requirements. Prerequisites & Notes MTH 126, junior class standing or permission of the department chair (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
The complexities and consequences of energy use in our technical society will be evaluated and discussed. The course will examine and analyze the fossil fuel era, the multitude of energy sources currently available and the benefits and environmental costs of each. The course will also focus on the science and mathematics of energy in order to give the students a multidimensional perspective of the most fundamental problem of current and future society. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes ENV 220 and junior status. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
A full-semester field experience, this course requires that students apply academic theories to the professional work environment. The 14-week period is planned with and supervised by faculty and site supervisors. A biweekly, on campus supervision group provides the opportunity for students to reflect upon their experiences and learning. Students will be responsible for outside reading and writing assignments designed to integrate theory and practice. Prerequisites & Notes All course requirements of the freshman, sophomore, and junior years must be completed, or permission of instructor. Note: students completing a Distance Internship must have reliable internet access; they will be communicating with their instructors via Gull Net. Students must arrange to take Senior Thesis I either the semester before or after the internship. (Cr: 12)
-
3.00 Credits
Senior Thesis I is the first phase of a two semester thesis sequence, which provides students with an opportunity to study a specific area within their major more deeply. Students choose a topic in their respective field, and through research, they write a comprehensive literature review that is then developed into an original thesis project in Senior Thesis II. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Developing the concept explored in Senior Thesis I, students will investigate a topic related to Environmental Studies in which they have a particular interest. The outcomes of the project are a scholarly paper and a presentation. Prerequisites & Notes ENV 480, ENV 489, and all prior coursework. (Cr: 3)
