3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of several aspects of forensic science including crime scene processing, evidence collection, chain of evidence (with associated paperwork), motor vehicle accidents, blood spatter, and ballistics. Students will be asked to analyze evidence, participate in case studies, and utilize databases for both ballistics and blood spatter. Cross listed with BIO280. Prerequisites: ENV180, ENV181 or Permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
To analyze many crimes, one needs to have a good understanding of both chemistry and physics. Students will learn about the fundamentals of organic and inorganic chemistry (titration, precipitation, color metric tests) and apply them to forensic uses. Students will also apply the basic physical principles (one dimensional and two dimensional analysis, kinematics, motion and gravitation, work and energy, momentum, rotational motion, solids and fluids, and heat and thermodynamics). Cross listed with BIO290. Prerequisites: MAT130, ENV180, or PHY110 and CHM105, or Permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course begins with the basic principles of toxicology including dose response relationships, bioactivation and bioaccumulation, detoxification and risk determination. Principles will be applied to specific examples within the following: hepatic, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, and reproductive systems. Emphasis will be placed on chemical carcinogen (natural and synthetic) and drug metabolism. Prerequisite: ENV120 or BIO120 or BIO133 or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Natural History examines the changes in a community, ecosystem, or organism over time. This course focuses on how geology and climate have determined the plan and animal populations and communities that live in New England. Discussions also include how humans have interacted with and affected not only the landscape, but also the flora and fauna distribution. Prerequisite: ENV120.
-
3.00 Credits
General Occupational Safety and Health are topics that should concern every person. How to find a listing of the federal regulations governing work place safety and health, interpret the documents, and apply the information is the focus of this course. Students with a theoretical science background will have the opportunity to use that information in real world settings, and those who excel in hands-on learning will find that this course allows them to utilize their strengths to learn science. Students may earn the 10-hour or 30- hour OSHA certification while learning not only rules and regulations, but also real world applications of that material.
-
3.00 Credits
Students learn the relevant federal and state environmental laws together with their practical application to corporate and real estate transactions. Specific areas of study include environmental due diligence. The course covers the specific area in which individuals encounter environmental issues in the practice of law. Cross listed with LAW405. Prerequisite: BUS204 or ENV120 or LAW101.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Students engage in independent research in either a laboratory or field setting. Students may also elect to complete a literature review. Results of this work are presented at the end of the semester. Application, proposal submission, and registration policies should be discussed with the faculty mentor prior to registration. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course concentrates on the care and handling of horses including the maintenance of good health, with emphasis on the prevention of both injuries and illnesses. Related topics such as safe handling techniques, daily routine, grooming, selection and fit of tack and horse 'clothing', barn safety, basic feeding, parasite control, and emergency care are studied. A practical horse care 'lab' component is included in this course.
-
4.00 Credits
This course involves the planning, construction, and maintenance of horse farms. Barn design, placement, and layout are covered in detail, examining such considerations as environmental concerns, drainage, ventilation, efficiency, safety, pastures, fencing, maintenance procedures, purchasing and storing of feed. Also covered are record keeping, insurance requirements, fire prevention and selection, training, and management of staff. A practical 'lab' component is included in this course to enable students to experience 'on the job' training in a variety of settings.
-
3.00 Credits
This course begins with an overview of the horse as a product of its evolution and of the development of the Northern European conformation as distinguished from that of the Middle Eastern desert breeds. Studied in detail are the anatomy and physiology of the horse, and the function of its biological systems. In addition, an evaluation of conformation as it relates to soundness is explored.
