10 courses with the subject ENV, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
A study of conservation principles and their application to local, regional, national, and international resource management. Topics include water quality, soil and wetlands conservation, forest and wildlife management, alternate energy sources, and solid waste disposal. Laboratories emphasize hands-on field experiences.
A continuation of ENV-101. Topics include air pollution control, biocides and other hazardous substances, wildlife extinction, world food supply and resource conservation, fisheries management, nuclear energy, environmental laws, and natural resource planning.
An introduction to contemporary astronomy with attention to light optic visible objects. In addition to learning northern hemisphere constellations, students will learn about astronomical time and measurement,life cycles of stars, nebulae, galaxies, comets, auroras and eclipses. Details about solar system dynamics, the moon, our planets, the sun and their impact on earth's ecology and life cycles will also be discussed. In addition, basic techniques of astronomical photgraphy are covered.
Environmental study open to anyone who wishes to develop or deepen an awareness of the environment. This course promotes an appreciation of natural beauty and of other natural resources. It also provides exposure to ongoing problems and solutions.
A field experience focused on the biological diversity of Everglades National Park. This course includes the natural history of flora and fauna within sawgrass prairie, tropical hardwood hammock, bald cypress head, pineland and coastal mangrove ecosystems. Practical skills in descriptive ecology are developed through guided field study.
An introduction to field data collection methods. Students will choose, design, and carry-out a field-oriented research project, including final reporting. The course will use GPS/GIS, laptop/handheld computers, radio-telemetry, seining and live-trapping surveys to immerse students in all aspects involved in the study of wildlife biology.
Designed to provide the student with the knowledge to evaluate and skills to participate in and influence environmental issues in the public arena. Operation of local, state, and federal governmental environmental agencies and the role of various stakeholders, such as non-governmental organizations, corporations and citizens will be studied. Participation in public meetings and service learning required.
Sources of water pollution and the effects of pollutants on the environment. Methods of monitoring and assessing water and soil quality and the scientific principles underlying those methods. Topics covered will include chemical and biological factors affecting water quality, fate and transport of pollutants, and the chemistry of environmental monitoring and assessment. Laboratories emphasize water analysis.
For students with a foundation in the field. Student and instructor determine the project and the number of credits to be earned. Individual or small group projects, especially in the field, may be involved. Regularly scheduled meetings between student and instructor are required. Permission of the department chair or program advisor required.
