4 courses with the subject ENSC, 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.
ENSC 101People,Planet & Sustainability3
The course will introduce the field of environmental science and examine the environment from a scientific viewpoint. We will explore the concept of sustainability and how it relates to us, contemporary environmental issues related to health and disease, pollution, water resources, nonrenewable and renewable energy sources and global climate change. The course promotes critical thinking, problem solving, scientific and environmental literacy.
ENSC 201 is intended for undergraduate students in environmental science, environmental studies, and related disciplines. In this course, you will learn about the history and practice sustainable science and technology, focusing on understanding a scientific approach to addressing interconnected environmental, social, and economic issues. To better learn to evaluate these topics following preventative approach elements of toxicology and comprehensive assessment developments will be explored. Prerequisites for this course include ENSC 101, Introduction to Environmental Science, and CHEM 101, General Chemistry I course. Students will not only examine case studies, engage in discussion of readings, and work on a semester long project, but have an opportunity to tailor this work to their interest and major subject of study using open-access technologies.
ENSC 301Sustainable Power: Fossil to Future Fuels3
Throughout the semester, students will study the science of air, water, soil and anthropogenic activities of Earth. The course will be designed to provide students with an understanding of the sources, reactions, transport and fates of natrually occurring and man-made systems. Major pollutants and their effects upon the environment will be studied. Prerequisite: ENSC 101.
This course is the continuation of (ENSC 301). During this course students will study the chemistry of the water and soil, and how anthropogenic activities affect this chemistry on planet Earth. Specifically, we will examine the sources, reactions, transport, effects, and fates of chemical species in water and soil environments, and the effects of technology thereon. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory period per week. Pre-requisite: ENSC 301.
