6 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.
Critical examination of population, resources, and environment as they relate to the well-being of man. Comprehensive analysis and evaluation of environmental issues in terms of present and future generations of the world. Lecture: three hours.
Analysis and experiments geared toward understanding the underlying principles involved in determining the health of the environment. Includes the analysis for common pollutants in water, air, and soil. Laboratory: (2) hours.
Integrates the study of environmentally relevant basic chemical and biological concepts. Topics include atomic structure, bonding, water chemistry and its role in biological membranes, chemical equilibrium, buffers, acids and bases, Macromolecule structure and function. Stoichiometry and enzyme function, DNA structure, replication, transcription, and translation, genetics, and inheritance. Lecture and Lab.
Integrates the chemical and biological concepts regulating metabolic, ecological, and evolutionary phenomena impacting the environment. Introduces thermodynamics, energy kinetics and nutrient flow in ecosystems. Redox and other metabolic reactions related to energy flow in the biosphere. Explores biological and chemical drivers of pollution, evolution, and ecological interactions. Lecture and Lab.
The study of pollution in the environment with emphasis on pollutants of the atmosphere, water, land surface and the food chain. It covers processes responsible for the occurrence, dispersion, hazards, and bioaccumulation of toxic substances, as well as pollution control and remediation.
Covers significant global environmental issues using case studies, debating and video conference format. Students assume “roles” of parties that have a stake in the outcome of issues that generally have no clear-cut solution and defend the position. The position is also defended through posting of position papers on electronic forums. Lecture: meets three hours; and video conference scheduled outside the formal meeting period as needed.
