This course will expose students to a different culture and language for one week. Site visits and lectures will focus on the host country. Emphasis will be given to speaking Spanish and understanding the role of Puerto Rico’s unique and distinctive culture in the following areas: rain forests, coastal resources, eco- tourism, industry, management, and legal issues. Cross-listed with LAW 2510 Offered: as needed
This course offers an introduction to, and examination of illegal drug production laboratories. Clandestine drug operations generate a wide variety of law enforcement, social, societal, socioeconomic, and environmental problems. This course is designed to examine these problems. The course is comprised of three modules: Module 1 covers law enforcement issues; Module 2 covers societal issues; and Module 3 covers environmental and economic issues. Cross-listed with SWK 2600 and JUS 2600 Offered: as needed
ENM 3010POLLUTION SCIENCE, TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUES3
Application of principles of chemistry to examine and understand the fate of hazardous substances after release into the environment, cross-media transfer, sampling techniques, environmental assessment and environmental technologies available for clean-up and assessment. Includes three credit hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week. Offered: as needed
Examines management of hazardous and solid waste under regulations of RCRA (Resource Conservation Recovery Act), CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act, a.k.a. Superfund), TSCA (Toxic Substance Control Act), SWDA (Solid Waste Disposal Act) and Hazardous Materials Transportation Act. Includes studies of Cradle-to-Grave management, waste minimization, permits, land disposal restrictions, and waste stream audits, through case studies and research projects. Offered: as needed
An in-depth study of required periodic reporting (audits) to remain in compliance and to obtain and maintain permits under a variety of federal and state regulations including, but not restricted to, EPCRA 137
ENM 3750HAZARDOUS WASTE OPERATIONS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE (HAZWOPER)3
This course is an overview and introduction to toxicology, characterization and identification of hazardous waste, management of waste and how to respond to spills or accidental releases. It is required for people who work in the Environmental Health and Safety field. Students will become familiar with the relevant portions of 29 CFR, Parts 1910 and 1929. HAZWOPER certification is among the required certificates for the ENM major. Employers will look for it on a resume. The course must be taught by a qualified individual in order for students to gain the 8-, 24- or 40-hour certification. Offered: as needed
ALL ENM majors are required to complete five certificates from an appropriate federal, state, or international agency. If a student elects to complete a certificate program with a cost associated with completion of the program, the student will be responsible for the cost of the certificate program as individual certificate programs are not included in Methodist University tuition. Offered: as needed
This course is an in-depth study of clandestine labs, along with specific case studies of actual labs and their adverse effects. Students will learn and explore real world solutions to problems associated with labs. Students will be engaged in active advanced learning and research in their specific discipline (i.e. SWK majors will research an aspect of clandestine labs associated with SWK, other majors will have specific topics in their field of study). Students will be involved in actively identifying labs, by entering and interacting with virtual reality simulations of clandestine labs. This course is designed as a capstone course in the field of study. Prerequisite: none Offered: as needed
Assessments of the impact of HAZMATs/pollutants on the environment in all media (air, land, water and life) through case studies. Students will assess the impact through a variety of methodologies including, but not limited to, Brownfield Assessment, land use planning for urban environments, NEPAEA (National Environmental Policy Act and Environmental Assessment) and EIS (Environmental Impact Statement), CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act) and natural resource land use planning. This course is designed as a capstone course and as such should be taken after all other ENM courses have been completed or with permission of the ENM director. Offered: as needed
For ENM majors wishing to do advanced work and for new offerings. Classroom work and individual laboratory and library investigation. Offered: as needed 138
