3.00 Credits
(formerly ENV-H1104) 3 cr. Prerequisite: CHE*H111 or 121. The objective of the course is to study the chemical reactions in natural systems. The fate and transport of contaminants introduced into the environment by humans will be examined. Ways of analyzing for contaminants in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere will be identified and students will obtain practical experience with some of these techniques. Written lab reports will be required. Two class and two laboratory hours weekly.
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly ENV-H1417) 3 cr. Prerequisite: CHE*H111 or 121. Water pollution control procedures are studied including sedimentation, flocculation, ion exchange, membrane processes, filtration, disinfection, and biological approaches. Both municipal and industrial wastes are addressed. Air pollution control is also covered. The causes of smog, acid rain, ozone depletion, and the greenhouse effect are examined, followed by a look at air pollution control processes that reduce these problems.
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly ENV-H1414) 3 cr. A study of the methods and procedures used to minimize solid and hazardous wastes. These include substitution of less hazardous materials in the manufacturing process, modifying the manufacturing process, recycling and re-use. Treatment of wastes will be covered, including incineration, bioremediation, solidification, stabilization, and landfill disposal. Students will be responsible for preparing a written report on a specific waste problem or treatment process.

(formerly ENV-H2400) 3 cr. The study of soil structure and various methods to reduce soil erosion. Discussion of soil chemical structure and its relationship to nutrient availability. Depletion of soil nutrients by leaching and excessive crop harvesting, and soil restoration will also be considered. The hydrologic cycle will be studied in detail, including surface water body and ground water characteristics. Soil chemical cycles for major plant nutrients and contaminants will also be investigated. A research paper is required. Three hours weekly.
-
2.00 Credits
(formerly ENV-H2404) 2 cr. Prerequisites: ENV*H110, 120, 160, 205, 230, 240. A course to provide students with experience in design, research, and completion of an environmentally related project. Knowledge and application of regulations, sampling methods, waste minimization, hazardous materials, wastewater treatment, and pollution control techniques are required for successful completion of the project. An extensive research paper and oral presentation of the project are required. Four hours weekly.
-
3.00 Credits
(formerly ENV-H2220) 3 cr. Prerequisites: Students must have a minimum of 9 ENV*H credits prior to the co-op semester, a minimum 2.0 GPA, senior status and approval of the Environmental Science Coordinator. This elective Co-op entails a supervised work experience in a job related to the student's major. This senior-level course provides the student with the opportunity to reinforce the techniques learned in the classroom by applying them in a business/industrial setting. The course consists of: 1. two-hour Professional Development Workshop 2. Minimum 225-hour Cooperative Work Experience 3. Weekly Co-op Seminar with faculty facilitator
