Human-Environmental Interactions (GEA 6277) 3 credits - This course provides graduate students in geography and related fields with an environment to practice the various methods and approaches learned in their graduate program. It uses a multidisciplinary approach to explore diverse aspects of human-environment interactions in a specified region. Professor: Dr. Charles Roberts
-
Culture, Conservation, and Land Use (GEO 6337) 3 credits -Course considers relationship between humans and environment with an emphasis on current cultural practices and ideologies concerning preservation and consumption from both local and global perspectives. A portion of the course is designed to permit students to reflect on the personal roles all of us play in relation to the ecosystems in which we live. Professor: Dr. Maria Fadiman
-
Water Resources (GEO 4280C) 3 credits - Topics include agricultural and personal water use, wetland degradation and pollution. Prerequisite: GEO 2200C or GLY2010 or equivalent distribution, management, and use of water. Professor: Dr. Tara Root
-
Biogeography (GEO 4300) 3 credits - The study of past and present distribution of plants and animals. The course combines the disciplines of biology and ecology with spatial and temporal aspects of geography. Class will be taught through lecture, in-class laboratory sessions with homework assignments and field trips to local sites. Professor: Dr. Scott Markwith
Department of Biological Sciences
-
Conservation Biology (BSC 6936) - Course provides advanced level coverage of marine mammal: biology and adaptive physiology, health assessment studies, genetics, photo-identification and monitoring, behavior research, emerging diseases, stranding and rehabilitation husbandry, necropsy procedures and terminology, medicine and conservation outreach programs.
Department of Chemistry
-
Chemistry for the Health Sciences surveys the practical chemistry you encounter on a daily basis as a practicing nurse, as well as items of interest to an average consumer. We examine the chemistry required to understand diet, drugs and poisons, but we also cover other ways chemistry impacts the real world, including energy, technology and environmental issues. The lab exercises survey the chemical properties of common materials you encounter on a daily basis. This course has a lecture component and a linked laboratory course that should be taken together.
College of Engineering and Computer Science
Department of Engineering
-
Environmental Science and Engineering (ENV 3001) - Introduction to environmental science and engineering topics such as: physical, chemical, and microbiological components of environmental systems in science and engineering, water quality management, air pollution control, solid waste management, pollution prevention and risk analysis.
-
Engineering Design 1 and 2 (CGNC 4803 and CGNC 4804) - Capstone design course that requires teams of students to design a LEED-Gold building over the course of two semesters.
