-
5.00 Credits
This course is designed to examine in detail current practices, laws, and regulations pertaining to the management of both solid and hazardous wastes, air quality, and water quality. The student will gain an overview of the major U.S. environmental laws, their amendments, and the regulations that implement them. Major topics include: Oil Pollution Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Underground Storage Tanks, Toxic Substances Control Act, CERCLA/SUPERFUND, SARA/EPCRA, Pesticides, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act. Emphasis will be on the major historical, scientific, legal and political concepts that relate to environmental policy.
-
5.00 Credits
This course examines the ethical dilemmas faced by human cultures throughout history in their use of land and natural resources. Topics will include the environmental ethics of game and wildlife management, natural resource use, water management, biological diversity, fisheries, ocean protection, and agriculture production. Discussions will focus on different perspectives of the environment and ways to resolve ethical disputes over land management and resource use.
-
5.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to water and wastewater operations and the basic skills and knowledge needed to advance in this industry. The course will provide an overview of water and wastewater treatment processes, distribution systems as well as terminology and equipment used in the wastewater and water industries. Regulations, licensing, and the certification process will be discussed as a part of this course. Laboratory techniques used in the analysis of water in water/wastewater treatment plants will be introduced.
-
5.00 Credits
Principles governing conservation and management of fish and wildlife; the interrelations of wildlife management and other forest uses.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ESC 112 This course focuses on the operation of industrial wastewater pretreatment facilities and industrial wastewater treatment facilities discharging directly to the environment (with NPDES permits). An introduction to industrial wastewater variables, components, effects and generation is included. Treatment processes including preliminary treatment (flow equalization, screening, pH adjustment), and physical treatment (air stripping, carbon absorption) are covered. Topics include: chemistry and related mathematical analyses involved in the operation of water and wastewater treatment plants; various tests necessary to maintain process control of water and wastewater treatment plants and monitor sewage and industrial wastes prior to disposal; and methods for collecting/handling samples.
-
5.00 Credits
The course focuses on the conceptual understanding of hydrologic processes, aquifer and ground water systems, design and analysis of pipe and pump systems, knowledge of open channel flow analysis, instrumentation and measurements of flow properties and applications of computer software for hydraulic system design. The physics of pipeline systems and pumps, such as, hydrostatic forces, hydrodynamics, conservation of mass and energy, and friction are discussed.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ESC 112 This course will provide an overview of water resources planning and management, including: basic principles of hydrology and hydrogeology; the social, economic and policy framework for water resources management; causes and resolutions of water resource conflicts; the application of environment criteria for water supply projects; regional water supply planning issues; and emerging technical and policy issues related to national, state and local water resources management. Other topics will include: erosion, drainage, land reclamation, and basic chemical principles of water and water pollution.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHM 193 This course encompasses the study of the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in water, soil, and air environments and the effects of technology thereon.
-
