EV300 | ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE | 2018 | 1 | Geography and Environmental Engineering | 3.0 (BS=0.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0) | ||||
SCOPE | |||||||||
As the introductory course to the Environmental Engineering Sequence, EV300 provides a broad understanding of current global and local environmental issues. It specifically focuses on natural ecosystems processes, the effects of pollution on human health, assessing the level of risk associated with pollution, and the environmental effects of energy use, air pollution, global climate change, acid rain, and smog. Discussions of anthropogenic influences on the environment also consider social, economic, technological and political impacts. Cadets learn to evaluate environmental issues through current events and interactive debates. A course project requires cadets to apply the scientific method to evaluate a current environmental problem and provides an opportunity to integrate multiple course topics with an in-depth study of an issue of interest. | |||||||||

As the introductory course to the Environmental Engineering Sequence, EV300 provides the cadet with a broad understanding of current global and local environmental issues. It specifically focuses on natural ecosystems processes, the effects of pollution on human health and how the level of risk associated with this pollution is assessed, the environmental effects of energy use, and air pollution concerns such as global climate change, acid rain, and smog. Discussions of anthropogenic influences are conducted with consideration of social, economic, technological and political impacts. Cadets learn to evaluate literature on environmental issues through readings and interactive debates. A course project applying the scientific method to evaluate a current environmental problem provides an opportunity to tie multiple course topics with an in-depth study of an issue of interest. | |||||||||

SCOPE | |||||||||
As the introductory course to the Environmental Engineering Sequence, EV300 provides the cadet with a broad understanding of what the term "environment" includes and how influences, especially anthropogenic, cause changes in the natural balance of the earth's chemical and biological cycles. Special attention is focused on those environmental influences causing the greatest detrimental effects to human and wildlife health along with techniques used for evaluating the level of risk associated with these influences. Discussions of anthropogenic influences are conducted with consideration of social, economic, technological and political impacts. Cadets learn to evaluate literature on environmental issues through readings and interactive debates. A course project applying the scientific method to evaluate a current environmental problem provides an opportunity to tie multiple course topics with an in-depth study of an issue of interest. | |||||||||
