2.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course examines some unifying ecological-economiclegal principles directly related to understanding the nature of environmental problems. The economic and legal dimensions of pollution and natural resources are discussed within an ecological framework. The laboratory and field exercises will cover environmental impact analysis, natural resource inventory, the bionomics of development and preservation, and application of ecological models in environmental management. Prerequisites: ENV 1020 or BIO 1003 or departmental permission and ENG 2100. ECO 1002 is recommended.
-
2.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course focuses on the study of environmental problems that are international in scope. Topics include world carrying capacity, population growth and policies of developed and developing nation-states, world food production and famine, and pollution of the global commons (e.g., ozone depletion, greenhouse effect). The purpose of the laboratory is to give students hands-on experience in system modeling and the application of computer-simulation of world modeling. Prerequisite: A one-semester college natural science course with laboratory.
-
2.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 4 credits The subject matter of this course is sources, types, and effects of air and water pollutants. Students study air- and waterquality analyses and pollution control techniques. Laboratory exercises include measurement of particulates in air and chemical analysis of airborne and water pollutants. Prerequisite: A one-semester college natural science course with laboratory.
-
2.00 Credits
4 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 5 credits This course is a calculus-based study of the basic principles of quantitative physics. Topics include classical mechanics, gravitation, heat, sound, and relativity. A weekly laboratory will parallel the lectures. (Not open to students who have taken PHY 2003.) Pre- or corequisites: MTH 2610 and departmental permission.

2.00 Credits
4 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 5 credits This course is a calculus-based study of quantitative physics. Topics include electricity and magnetism (leading up to Maxwell's equations), optics, and the elements of atomic physics. A weekly laboratory will parallel the lectures. (Not open to students who have taken PHY 3001.) Prerequisites: PHY 3010 and departmental permission.
-
4.00 Credits
2 lecture hours; 4 lab hours; 4 credits This course is a study of the interrelationships of micro - organisms with other organisms and the abiotic environment. Lecture topics include the metabolic diversity of microorganisms, the role of microorganisms in biogeochemical cycles, and industrial use of microorganisms. Laboratory exercises include a study of microorganisms found in soil, water, and food; analysis of food and water quality; and microbial indices of pollution of food and water. Prerequisites: One 3000-level course in biology or environmental studies and permission of the department. This course will be offered if there is sufficient demand. For students with two other upper-level (3000 or above) courses in the discipline, this course may serve as the capstone for the Tier III requirement.
-
2.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course examines timely and complex environmental issues, for example: energy resources, urban environment, freshwater resources, climate change, global biodiversity, world food supply, environmental crime. Students find, evaluate, and document sources of information concerning the topic, discuss alternative viewpoints with other students in class, and write term papers based upon their research. Students also design and conduct laboratory and field studies on some aspect of the topic, present their results orally to the class, and prepare a poster summarizing their findings. Topics vary from semester to semester. (Students may enroll in ENV 4900 more than once if the topic is different.) Prerequisites: Two upper-level (3000 or above) courses in natural sciences or departmental permission. For students with two other upper-level (3000 or above) courses in natural sciences, this course may serve as the capstone for the Tier III requirement.
