ERS 1101Energy, Environment, and Economy is designed to3
meet the First Year Seminar (FYS) requirement of the 2015 University Studies Program. Through focused research and critical examination of diverse information, students will explore how energy resource use and development has shaped Wyoming: past, present, and future. The course will actively engage students in meaningful issues through an interdisciplinary approach to promote thoughtful and informed dialogue targeting Wyoming's energy resource use and development 3 USP 2015 Code: U5FY ss, Culture, and Power A multi-disciplinary approach to understanding how oil affects the international relations and commerce. The relationships between oil technology, social and political institutions, the unique cultures in oil-producing regions will be investigated in case studies. Max Credit: 3 Cross Listed: ECON 1300 .
