ENS 215 Introduction to Environmental Science
Consider the air quality impacts of cooking fires, the life cycle of electricity generation, or the challenges of water quality in Flint, Michigan. This course promotes the understanding of the value of and limitations of the natural sciences in solving environmental problems. Students examine how science is used to manage natural resources to promote a sustainable society. More specifically, students use the natural sciences to investigate multiple domains of environmental science including water and air quality; biodiversity; food and soils; climate; and energy. Laboratory work is required.
