ENV 201 - Problem Solving in Environmental Systems

4 Hour(s)
This course takes an inquiry-based approach to address current and future environmental issues (water, energy, biodiversity loss, climate change, and agriculture/aquaculture) through a project-based problem solving approach. Environmental issues will be explored through their scientific as well as sociological, economic, and political contexts. Students will be expected to examine environmental issues through compiling information from a variety of sources - textbook, internet, popular literature, and peer-reviewed publications. The course is a pre-requisite for some upper-level biology courses and will cover critical thinking skills required in upper-level Biology and Environmental Science courses.
