ENV 150 - Environmental Issues

Environmental changes and consequences that accompany anthropogenic development and industrialization are discussed. The students actively participate in a chronological and systematic investigation of the connections and relationships between ecological systems, energy, raw materials, western industrialization, environmental degradation, and third world population. The content of the course ultimately serves to establish an historical reference point that allows for analysis of current environmental status and national policy. Satisfies the Science and Technology General Education requirement.
