Requirement: Junior standing in engineering. Click here for course fees.
-
6.00 Credits
Professional cooperative education placement in a private or public enterprise related to the student's academic objectives and career goals. In addition to their work experiences, students are required to submit weekly reaction papers, have discussions with the Faculty Coordinator in the student's discipline on a periodic basis, prepare a final report and prepare and give a presentation to the Faculty Coordinator on an academic project completed at the enterprise. The co-op option for credit can only be taken one time for up to 6 credits, depending on the quantity of work hours, the complexity of the work and report and presentation requirements.
Prerequisite:
Junior standing in engineering and Faculty Coordinator approval required.

3.00 Credits
The nature of our planet and how it works are examined in the context of Earth as a constantly changing dynamic system. An emphasis on global scale processes and the interaction of humans and their physical environment is coupled with in-depth coverage of how science is done and the scientific principles that influence our planet, its rocks, mountains, rivers, atmosphere, and oceans. Major sub-topical areas in the Planet Earth series may include geology (Forces of Geologic Change), oceanography (The Restless Ocean), astronomy (The Cosmic Perspective), geography (Global Regions and Geography), and the relationship between people and their physical surroundings (The Global Environment). Intended for students who are not majoring in science, engineering, pre-pharmacy, nursing, or B.S. programs in mathematics or computer science. Two hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week. Click here for course fees.
Prerequisite:
No previous background in science or college-level mathematics is required.
-
1.00 Credits
Departmental courses on topics of special interest, not extensively treated in regularly scheduled offerings, will be presented under this course number on an occasional basis. May be repeated for credit. Click here for fee for courses with a lab.
Prerequisite:
Varieswith topic studied.
-
1.00 Credits
This course entails an examination of the central topics of environmental ethics and sustainability as viewed from the perspectives of science. Ethical and sustainability paradigms that all environmental scientists should be aware of will be studied. Course is delivered online.
Prerequisite:
[[EES-240]] or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
The nature and function of earth's global climate are examined from a unified system perspective. Major questions focus on scientific versus public understanding of trends in global temperature, precipitation, and sea level. The course emphasizes negative and positive feedback processes that force key changes in the earth's climate system: past, present, and future. Topics include fundamentals of global and regional heat and water balance, the role of elemental cycles in controlling climate (e.g., the carbon cycle), descriptive climate classification, long-term, short-term, and catastrophic climatic change (e.g., ice ages and bolide impacts), and human effects on climate (e.g., enhanced greenhouse, rising sea level). This course integrates a scientific understanding of climatic change and explores contemporary social and economic policy responses to change scenarios. Three hours of lecture per week.
-
1.00 Credits
Students will utilize software to construct basic models of Earth Systems. No prior knowledge of the software is assumed or required. Weekly assignments will consist of computer-based modeling exercises, each progressively building upon previous assignments. Specifically, students will utilize software to construct relatively simple models of world population growth, fossil fuel consumption, the global carbon cycle, and the Earth's energy balance. The final modeling exercise couples the population growth, carbon cycle, and Earth energy balance assignments in an effort to explore the effect of future population growth and carbon dioxide emissions on global mean temperature. Two hours of lab per week.
Prerequisite:
[[EES-210]]
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of the central problems of environmental ethics as viewed from the perspectives of science and of philosophy. The value of nature and 'natural objects,' differing attitudes toward wildlife and the land itself, implications of anthropocentrism, individualism, ecocentrism, and ecofeminism, bases for land and water conservation, and other topics will be examined within a framework of moral and scientific argument. Cross-listed with [[PHL-218]].
Prerequisite:
[[PHL-101]] or [[EES-240]] or permission of the instructor.
