This 3-credit course develops a comprehensive framework for evaluating and predicting the environmental impacts of manmade projects. The theory and application of mathematical and computer models predicting the transport and fate of contaminants in air, water and soil media are presented. The selection, application, integration and evaluation of models are emphasized. This is a core course in the Environmental Health program. (Winter term; Cross listed in Civil and Environmental Engineering and School of Natural Resources)
This 3-credit course addresses hazardous waste management, site assessment and cleanup. It provides an introduction to the following topics: site assessment (including soils, surface water, groundwater and air); remediation practices; ultimate disposal of wastes; facility siting; monitoring methods; worker and community protection; federal and state regulations; and program evaluation. Case studies provide in-depth analyses. (Winter term)
This 3-credit course introduces and integrates disciplines involved in the management of hazardous substances, particularly those involving questions of risk and environmental impact assessment, and public perception of health risk. The course will address contemporary and emerging approaches to pollution and waste management issues with special attention to scientific, economic, and regulatory problems including pollution prevention, risk assessment, life cycle analysis, and environmental performance standards. The course emphasizes policy development and technical analysis skills. (Winter term)
This 1-credit seminar is designed to enhance critical thinking, research, analysis and presentation skills of doctoral students in EIH. The seminar addresses a number of topical issues in research and scholarship, including study formulation and design; analysis and presentation of results; cross-cutting research issues; ethical concerns, peer-review process, grantsmanship, and the overall doctoral process. The seminar is intended for both new and continuing doctoral students throughout the EHS department. (Fall term)
