3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to Occupational Safety & Health in the workplace. It will introduce students to the safety and health field and address the application of engineering, management principles, and techniques to safety, health, and loss control. The topics include general safety, health, and risk assessment concepts and terms. Discussions will include historical developments, program management, problem identification, engineering assessment, hazard recognition, evaluation, and control. The course work will also introduce the student to measurement and evaluation systems, legal and regulatory requirements, environmental health and safety, industrial hygiene, safety engineering, product safety and public health, risk assessment analysis and management, accident investigation, ergonomics, and ethics and professionalism. A visit to an industrial site will be included.

3.00 Credits
Students will learn the basic principles of Geographic Information Systems and explore and evaluate the various data models and structures used in the input management, analysis and output of geographic data. Students will develop hands-on experience through use of a microcomputer based vector system (ArcView GIS), and examine how the nature and character of spatial data can be used in studies of natural and socio-economic environments. This course is equivalent to ENV* K146 or GIS* K146.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor This course introduces and develops skills in microscopy techniques, field research, literature searches, monitoring equipment usage, and teamwork, and provides hands-on experience in the field and laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ENV* K101 or permission of the instructor. This course is an ecological study of Long Island Sound marine environments. Emphasis is placed on the factors limiting the distribution of marine organisms and on the visual recognition of invertebrates, fish, and seaweeds. Extensive travel to off campus field study locations is featured. Pollution run-off to the Long Island Sound and urban areas will be discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None required; CHE* K111 or CHE* K121 recommended. This course is a study of accident prevention, safety, industrial hygiene and proper procedures for handling hazardous materials. Properties of many industrial reagents and solvents are examined so they can be handled and stored properly. The following specific topics will be covered: Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), labeling, personnel training and records, emergency response program, toxicity routes of entry, storage, ventilation, personal protective equipment, barriers, and spills containment Requirements of OSHA, SPCC, RCRA, and TSCA will be reviewed to provide students with a working knowledge of the regulations. This course meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHE* K111 or CHE* K121, ENV* K101, MAT* K137 or higher. This course gives an introduction to the concepts and quantitative techniques of environmental engineering. The topics are presented as the basis for the operations and processes used to control air and water pollution, to treat supplied water, to remediate contaminated sites, and to dispose of or otherwise handle solid wastes. Course contents include mass balance, chemical equilibria, exponential growth and decay, surface and groundwater flow and transport, unit operations, and chemical and biological treatment processes, as well as discussions of risk assessment and application of environmental policies.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAT* K137, CHE* K111 or CHE* K121. This course gives a comprehensive overview of outdoor and indoor air pollution problems as well as noise pollution. Topics include types and sources of pollutants and their effects on the atmosphere, human health, and vegetation. Regulation, surveillance, and control methods will be discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT* K137 or higher. This course features an emphasis on ground water. Topics include weather as it affects water resources, precipitation, stream flow, stream flow hydro graphics, rainfall run-off relationships, the impact of natural and man-made phenomena on water resources, and ground water hydrology.
-
3.00 Credits
Co-requisite: ENV* K245L. This course studies the methodology used in determining storm water runoff for small urban areas. The theory and logic of both the Rationale Method and the Soil Conservation Services TR-55 are studied in detail. The quantity computations are covered, as well as the understanding of gutter analysis. As part of the lab, the student will design a storm drain system, including a cost estimate for the project. This course is equivalent to CIV* K236.
-
1.00 Credits
Co-requisite: ENV* K245. This course gives the methodology used in determining storm water runoff for small urban areas. This lab is used as a practical exercise to develop the methods of Water Resources Engineering, including actual design of a storm water system with a cost estimate. This course is equivalent to CIV* K237.
