4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite: BSLA 304 Participants implement procedures for planning, collecting, documenting, and interpreting and assessing the quality of environmental sampling data. Case studies are used to assist students in preparing a sampling and analysis plan for contaminants and sites selected by participants. A group sampling exercise is planned and completed by the class at a site. USEPA sampling guidelines are applied throughout the course.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite: CHEM 325 or comparable course in organic chemistry This course provides a study of the methods of recognizing, evaluating, and controlling occupational and environmental hazards that may cause injury or disease. Emphasis is on the workplace OSHA standards. The pathway for entry and action of chemical and physical hazards, air sampling and monitoring, and respiratory protection is included. The course uses a case study approach to explore the methods used by a health and safety manager to communicate technical and risk assessment data to production and management in an organization.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite: BSEM 300 or consent of instructor This is an advanced application course that analyzes permits, permitting processes, and other means by which environmental contaminants are regulated. Students examine and complete various federal and state permit applications and permits regulating air emissions and storm water and waste water discharges, as well as study and prepare the review reports which are periodically submitted to regulatory agencies. A study of administrative and judicial procedures and negotiations in various enforcement scenarios is also addressed.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisites: BSLA 304, organic chemistry, and BSEM 300 or its equivalent This course offers a comprehensive overview of treatment technologies currently in use in the environmental industry. The course explores both theoretical and practical aspects using a case study approach.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course provides an overview of key areas of human resource management that overlap with the management of environmental, health, safety, and security issues at industrial facilities. Topics include job and training analysis, labor relations, record keeping and reporting, accident investigation and worker's compensation, crisis management and contingency planning, as well as fraud and other investigations.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours This course is designed to provide an introduction to project management, particularly in the area of environmental and safety and health programs. Both the technical aspects of integrated project management, (e.g., scope, work breakdown, scheduling, budgeting, completion) and personnel issues within a project team are described. Students discuss case studies, prepare an individual project plan, and work with various management tools (e.g., PERT network diagrams and Gantt charts.)
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite: BSEM 325 or consent of instructor This comprehensive capstone health and safety course includes detailed study of the occupational safety and health regulatory compliance requirements in prototypical U.S. industrial facilities. It utilizes both the General Industry Standards of OSHA (29 CFR 1910) as well as professional standards of the major consensus practice organizations that address the practice of occupational health. Case studies examine different workplace settings and roles (e.g. regulator, consultant, or facility staff) as well as the possible management tasks that students may encounter in professional employment. Students are required to complete workplace and facility audits, create documents, and conduct mock management assessments pertaining to staffing and budgetary concerns.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite: BSEM 315 or consent of the instructor This capstone course applies the principles of exposure and toxicity assessment to characterize risk using a case-study approach. The student will apply these principles to contaminants and exposure routes at a site selected with the instructor's approval. Class discussions and risk calculations will cover exposure assessments for air, water, soil, and food. Risk-based environmental decision methods are introduced.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite: BSEM 400 This course examines the historical evolution of law-, rule-, and policy-making in the fields of environmental health and protection, public health, and occupational safety and health. The course evaluates the impact that these programs have had upon the health of the natural environment and the health of American citizens and workers, as well as the impact of protective measures on the financial competitiveness of U.S. industries. The effects of globalization, as well as alternative policy approaches such as disease prevention/health maintenance, pollution prevention, sustainable development, and industrial ecology are also addressed.
