E.LEARNING@HIRAM I: The e.learning@hiram courses are part of the entrepreneurship residential program that require the involved students approachto demonstrate their ability to create and implement programming that would help them and other students to discover their own creative, innovative and entrepreneurial potential and to develop students' understanding that an entrepreneurial mindset is critical to their success, no matter what path they may choose to follow. Students would be involved in service learning opportunities planning, organizing and implementing residence hall programming. Programming could include speaker series, movies, artistic events, discussions, games, etc., around the theme of entrepreneurship. The students will be working to develop a coherent program for the year that has a theme and is educational. The E.Integration@Hiram residential course is about working with others with a diversity of abilities and interests to identify and implement activities that achieve increased value for themselves and their communities. This course is Pass/No Credit ONLY

4.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure, dynamic systems, composition, and history of the earth. Topics covered include minerals, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, volcanism, seismicity, landscape evolution, effects of water, wind and ice, plate tectonics, crustal deformations, geological time and a brief history of the North American continent. Laboratory exercises include rock and mineral identification, map interpretation and field excursions to local areas of interest.

4.00 Credits
An introduction to geology by examination and interpretation of geological processes and structures in the field. Taught between the Hiram campus and the Northwoods Field Station. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Can be substituted for Geology 101 for environmental studies students.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the relationship between humans and their physical environment in the field of geology. Topics covered include plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, soil weathering and pollution, landslides and mass wasting, subsidence and collapse, surface and ground water pollution, and solid and hazardous waste management. Laboratory exercises include basic rock and mineral identification, interpretation of topographic and geological maps, earthquakes, surface and ground water processes, and several field trips to local areas of interest. Also listed as Geology 209.

3.00 Credits
Population growth, rising consumption, inequality and use of damaging technologies have combined to create an environmental crisis of global magnitude demanding a broad-based analysis. Abolishing poverty while simultaneously achieving true development and ecological stability will require a change in the values and culture of industrialized nations. By examining the interaction between human economic systems and their encompassing ecological systems we will discover the source of the problems and the basic nature of the changes that must occur.

4.00 Credits
This course highlights our place in the environment - our reliance and impact on critical natural systems, natural resources, and other species. Lectures and discussions relate patterns of natural ecosystems to human ecosystems, emphasizing the dependency of humans on the environment, exploring functions, inter-relationships, problems, and limitations. Students will examine environmental issues from multiple perspectives seeking solutions to local, regional, and global challenges. Population and population dynamics, resource use patterns, soils, food production, biodiversity, wildlife and other natural resource depletion, climate change, and economic, theological, and legal issues related to environmental problems and solutions are a few of the topics covered. Listed as INTD 225.

3.00 Credits
Organizational Ecology examines the relationship between organizations - for-profit and not-for-profit - and nature. It envisions an industrialecosystem in which energy and material use is optimized, waste and pollution are minimized, and there is an economically and environmentally viable role for every product of a manufacturing process. Successful organizations such as Herman Miller, Seventh Generation, Interface Inc., and Henkel will be examined to discover how their business practices foster positive relationships with all of the stakeholders including their natural environment.

4.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the history of environmental issues and environmental activism in North America. Students will consider how Native Americans interacted with the with the natural environment prior to the European arrival, how the Europeans who entered North America looked upon the natural environment and how their views and practices differed from those of the Native Americans, and how the European settlement in North America affected the natural environment. Students will also explore how the growth of industrial capitalism and westward expansion affected the natural environments, and how Americans view the "wilderness" and the environment in the nineteenthcentury. Finally, students will explore the rise of a conservation movement and social activism to protect and preserve the environment, and they will study closely the rise and growth of a modern environmental movement in the late twentieth century. Also listed as History 240.

4.00 Credits
Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. In this introductory course we cover fundamental aspects of climatology, biomes, distribution and abundance of plants and animals, energy flow through ecosystems, nutrient cycling, population dynamics, species interactions, niche theory, community structure and dynamics, landscape ecology, and global ecological issues. The course includes a lecture and a laboratory component that requires completion of lab reports. A portion of the course will entail field work at the James H. Barrow Field Station. This course is designed and required for the Environmental Studies Major or Minor, and it fulfills the lab science distribution requirement, but does not count toward a Biology Major.
