Cours
Environmental chemistry
ENV-200
Ce cours fournit aux étudiants une vue d'ensemble sur les bases de la chimie de l'environnement: chimie des systèmes naturels et le devenir des produits chimiques anthropiques dans les systèmes naturels. Il permet aux étudiants d'appliquer les concepts chimiques généraux aux systèmes naturels.
Introduction to environmental engineering
ENV-167
Des thèmes clés des sciences et ingénierie de l'environnement seront présentés, appuyés d'exemples - de l'équateur aux pôles - comprenant les processus atmosphériques et le changement climatique, la qualité de l'eau, les ressources énergétiques et le dével. urbain, avec technologies étonnantes.
