-
3.00 Credits
This interdisciplinary approach to our world emphasizes the history of environmental concerns, biomes, species interaction with each other and their environment, air, water, soil and biological resources, population dynamics, toxicology, energy sources, land use management, and other related topics. Principles of physics, chemistry and biology are incorporated throughout the course. This course is open to non-majors.

This interdisciplinary approach to our world emphasizes the history of environmental concerns, biomes, species interactions with each other and their environment, air, water, soil and biological resources, population dynamics, toxicology, energy sources, land use management, and other related topics. Principles of physics, Environmental chemistry, and biology are incorporated throughout the course. Information learned in lecture is re-enforced or enhanced through laboratory activities and experimentation. Laboratory fee required.

3.00 Credits
This course begins with a basic overview of forensic science from the "science" viewpoint. Scientific principles and practices will be applied to specific examples within the following: drug analysis, paternity, DNA fingerprinting, hair/fiber analysis, blood identification, microscopy, spectrophotometry, and chromatography. Cross listed with BIO180. Prerequisite: BIO133 or ENV120 and permission of the instructor.
-
2.00 Credits
Students will have the opportunity to learn about several forensic techniques and increase their skill at each technique in a hands-on format. Each student will perform experiments and analyze evidence with techniques including, but not limited to, the following: density determination, measurement and accuracy, statistical analysis, microscopy, hair and fiber analysis, fingerprint analysis, impression lifting and analysis, DNA fingerprinting and gel electrophoresis, thin layer chromatography, light spectrophotometry, glass fragment analysis, soils, ballistics, spatter patterns, and gas chromatography. Prerequisite or Co-requisite: BIO/ENV180 or CHM106 or BIO134 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the foundation for an examination of the role of government in the conservation, preservation, and utilization of natural resources and the environment. The history of Federal legislation, regulation, and environmental law will be discussed in general terms. Major laws and treaties as well as agencies (and their programs) will be examined in detail. Prerequisite: ENV120.
-
3.00 Credits
Students consider the intrinsic relationships of humans to their biotic and abiotic surroundings. They reflect on the issues of meaning, attitudes, and value. Topics include the historical roots of the ecological crisis and movement, conflicting views on ecological problems, and ethical conflicts associated with the environment and cooperation with nature. Prerequisite: ENV120.
-
3.00 Credits
Preparation and review of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) brings together people with diverse backgrounds, skills, and goals to generate an assessment of the impact of private or government projects. This course serves to not only provide students with procedural information associated with the production of an EIS, but also supply them with basic field techniques. The final work product of this field-based course includes but is not limited to an Environmental Impact Statement. Prerequisite: ENV120.
-
3.00 Credits
Our historic "Frontier Mentality" attitudes are no longer viable in the face of continuing human population increases. More than ever, people faced with issues of renewable and nonrenewable resources, food production, water quality, and environmental health. This course will explore how the application of technology, identification of renewable resources, support of diversity, monitoring of the environment, and minimization of waste can result in resource planning and management strategies that are not only sustainable, but also lucrative in the environmental and business areas. Prerequisite: ENV120.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a "hands-on" course emphasizing teaching methods for environmental concepts and issues. Students focus on ways to educate in formal and informal settings. They also gain a better understating of National Science Education Standards. Each student will regularly design unique lesson plans/ activities and participate in those designed by his or her fellow classmates. Prerequisite: ENV120.
