PSC
2 courses with the subject PSC, 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.
Sustaining the Planet 4 Will Earth be able to support 12 billion human beings by the year 2050? Can changes in the way one person uses energy or recycles really help save the environment? Environmental science is an interdisciplinary science that focuses on the interactions between humans and our environment. This course will expose students to a variety of current environmental issues including human population growth, water and soil degradation, agriculture and production of food (including genetically modified organisms), fossil fuel and renewable energy, global climate change, biodiversity, and sustainability. Select topics from chemistry, biology and the physical sciences will also be studied to provide an understanding of scientific principles underlying these environmental issues. Critical thinking and assessing the portrayal of environmental issues in the media will be stressed. Hands-on activities will help students understand theoretical principles and provide useful analytical skills. Students will research a topic selected in consultation with the instructor and will present results in a poster session or PowerPoint presentation at the end of the semester. Prerequisite: ENG 111 and Core Mathematics requirement. Offered on an as-needed basis. This course fulfills the Core Lab Science requirement.
