Throughout history, technological discoveries have enabled humanity to do new things in new ways. In some cases, these "discoveries" have been driven by "disaster" or led to "disaster". In this course, we examine a number of such discoveries. We place the events in cultural, technical, historical, environmental, and ethical context. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing.

3.00 Credits
The main objective of this course is to gain an elementary familiarity with renewable forms of energy. The course addresses three distinct areas: power and energy, generating power from renewable sources of energy, and the economics and markets of energy, in particular generation and distribution. Topics of discussion include the nature and physics of power and energy, different sources of energy, renewable sources of energy, in particular wind, solar and hydro, sustainability, depletion model, as well as demand and resources. Prerequisites: PHYS 125 and 126.

4 hours. Life forms have been influencing the nature of the atmosphere for millions of years, but in recent centuries, human activities have caused profound changes in the atmosphere that are now affecting ecosystems. These include emissions that have caused acid rain, global climate change, damage to the ozone layer, and mercury pollution. This course will explore the effects humans (and other biota) have had on the atmosphere and the results that these changes have had on ecosystems. (F)
