3.00 Credits
This course is focused on freshwater, which is one of most important and vulnerable resources on Earth. Availability of freshwater for human consumption, animal husbandry, and crop irrigation will become a major focus of national and international relations in the years to come. In this course, we will be learning the basics about freshwater resources, drinking-water and waste-water treatments, water-borne disease, water pollution, river dynamics and flooding, land use in flood plains, and national and international conflicts related to water resources. Each class session will be comprised of lecture (~2hours), water laboratory simulation (~2hours), and field trip (~3hours). Transportation is provided for the field trips. Fulfills 3 hours of science requirement."

3.00 Credits
Real observation-based meteorology will give non-science majors an appreciation of how meteorologists collect and use weather data to make forecasts. Students are expected to actively participate by analyzing meteorological data and by making and verifying at least one forecast. Fulfills 3 hours of science requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of atmospheric science for students majoring in meteorology. Topics include: atmospheric composition and structure, temperature, heat, moisture, air masses, fronts, midlatitude cyclones, thunderstorms, and hurricanes. Education and career opportunities will also be discussed. Co-requisite: MATH-141 or better, meteorology major, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Scientific and economic impacts of the crisis in waning fossil fuels as the world’s cheap energy source. Future petroleum, gas, and coal recovery will likely be either environmentally unacceptable or too costly. The challenges of supplying energy from solar, wind, and other renewable sources will be highlighted.
-
3.00 Credits
The analysis procedures and tools of meteorology are studied. Types and formats of meteorological data from both observations and models are examined. The analysis and display of data by hand and with computers are introduced. Prerequisites: MATH-142, EAS-253, or permission of the instructor. Must be taken concurrently with EAS-244.
-
3.00 Credits
This course discusses the fundamental concepts of GIS, the methods and software used to solve civil engineering problems. The course also covers skills to deal with remote sensing data, basic and differential GPS surveying to prepare students for today’s growing business needs in civil engineering companies and government agencies. Students may only apply credits towards their graduation requirements from one of the following courses: EAS-217, BIOL-417, EAS-417, or SOC-465.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture three hours per week. Crystallography, physical, chemical, and descriptive mineralogy.
-
1.00 Credits
Identification of rock-forming and ore minerals through physical and optical properties. will include field trips. Meets 3 hours once a week.
-
3.00 Credits
Engineering projects deal with surface materials and landforms on a daily basis. A proper understand of material properties and processes that lead to their formation is critical to understand their behavior. This course introduces students to the basic principles of earth science, the composition of earth materials and processes that shape the Earth and how these relate to human modifications.
-
2.00 Credits
Instruction in the fundamental methods of field work. Students will learn to use a compass, maps and other geological aids, orienteer, describe basic geologic features, keep a field notebook and map simple geologic structures. Most of the course will be conducted in the field. Fall semester.
