This second part of the two-course sequence (Environmental Science I and II) focuses on the science-based yet interdisciplinary nature of environmental issues such as water resources and water pollution, food and agriculture, waste management, and the management of natural resources. Through case studies and other interactive modes of learning, students learn key problem-solving elements used in environmental science and sustainability. Students will consider multi-disciplinary problems and solutions of natural resource usage and the impact on the environment. Students also learn the importance of engaging in the debate about environmental problems with data-supported insights via many forms of communication. Students will apply their learning to come up with critical recommendations for diverse actors to address sustainability challenges each week.
