This course is the third in a three-course sequence devoted to environmental problem solving using real-world issues, and it is the capstone to the EVST major. Building on the skills and knowledge introduced in EVST 105, deepened in the Area of Expertise, and practiced in EVST 305, this course will focus on a different local or regional environmental issue than was analyzed in EVST 105 and EVST 305. Like EVST 105 and EVST 305, we will work with government, business, and community leaders, but students will be in charge of all aspects of the analysis. Moreover, students enrolled in EVST 405 will meet concurrently with and serve as project leaders for EVST 305 students who will be working on the same issue. At the end of the course we will provide the stakeholders with a detailed analysis drawing on information from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. Partially fulfills the collegiate requirements in the Natural Science Area of Knowledge, and as an Interdisciplinary course. Recommended for those with Senior standing in the EVST major.
