-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisites: GEOL 120 or 205, one course in chemistry, and MATH 140 This course examines the distribution and movement of water above and below the ground and the resultant chemical attributes of freshwater systems. The behavior and transport of pollutants in groundwater and surface water systems are emphasized. Computer-modeling and simulations are included.
-
4.00 Credits
4 semester hours Prerequisite: one course in chemistry This course is a laboratory-based study of crystalline matter, major rock-forming minerals, and mineral crystallization in igneous and metamorphic environments. Also includes discussion of mineral and rock resources, the economic development of these resources, and the environmental impacts of the mineral industries. Lectures are supplemented with self-paced computer instruction.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisites: GEOL 120 and MATH 123 This is a field and laboratory-based study of soil, sediments, and sedimentary rocks. Topics include weathering, transport and depositional processes, and stratigraphic principles and procedures. Geologic controls on environmental restoration projects are also described.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours Prerequisites: computer science competency; junior or senior standing This is a computer applications course analyzing datasets that have a spatial or geographic component. Course-supplied software integrates database applications, cartographic display, spatial mathematics and analysis, and import-utilities to work with proprietary databases or data retrieved from national repositories. Case studies are developed from the fields of natural resources and environmental management, facility and utility administration, regional planning, commerce and marketing, public health and epidemiology, and other topics of student interest. Local, regional, national, and international projects are explored.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
1 to 6 semester hour(s) Prerequisite: permission of instructor This course provides for study of selected areas of geology not included in regularly offered courses.
-
3.00 Credits
3 semester hours each Prerequisite for GERM 121: GERM 120 or permission of the instructor These are introductory courses of German language and culture. Students begin to communicate in German through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Emphasis is on conversation and vocabulary acquisition. Students also learn about the culture of German speaking societies in the world. Through the courses, students will make comparisons to their own culture and language. GERM 120 is designed for students who have no previous training in German.
