Environmental Science I: Environmental Systems This course introduces students to environmental concepts and issues from an interdisciplinary approach. Environmental issues and controversies will be explored from a chemical, ecological, biological, sociological, economic, ethical, and political point of view. Students will understand and analyze environmental issues, such as the effect of population growth on resource depletion, industrial and municipal pollution (air, water, and solid waste), global warming and ozone depletion. In laboratories, students will learn how to use the scientific method to solve environmental problems, become acclimated to the tools and techniques of environmental science, and have hands-on experience relevant to contemporary environmental issues such as renewable energy, water purification and remediation.
