ATE351 - Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecology
The interdependence of living organisms and the factors that limit distribution and abundance is explored in a primarily field-based setting on King Campus and Lake St. George. This course will take a holistic approach to learning about aquatic and terrestrial systems, relating abiotic and biotic factors. Field identification skills will be developed while also becoming more proficient in field sampling techniques. Students will learn to recognize indicators of ecosystem health. The course culminates with a field project that investigates habitat conservation and restoration for species at risk.
CHE351 - Environmental Chemistry
This course will emphasize understanding of chemistry in the natural environment (water, atmosphere and soil), the phenomena that can result in changes, as well as the influence of pollutants upon the environment. Aspects of chemical transport, fate, persistence and biological accumulation of toxins will be discussed.
GEM351 - Soil Science and Geomechanic Principles
This course introduces students to the fields of soil science and geotechnical engineering. Several laboratory and field testing procedures will be covered to allow for soils classification under the applicable system. Field investigation procedures and supplemental theory will be covered for common project activities such as earthwork inspections and environmental investigations.
STA351 - Environmental Statistics
Introductory statistical techniques and data management skills will be developed and practiced. Focus will be on developing skills in data presentation, evaluating data sets for probability distributions, confidence limits, and regression equations relevant to the environmental and engineering industry.
SVC002 - Surveying II
This subject allows students to extend the fundamentals of surveying through the practice of field exercises using contemporary tools and techniques. Students will practice the collection of digital field data through the proper set-up, initialization and basic operation of instruments such as total stations, theodolites, and electronic field books. Data processing using progressive terrain modelling software is integrated throughout to provide an understanding of its application.
GEN001 - General Education Option
According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, ?the purpose of General Education in the Ontario college system is to contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human experience; who are able to establish meaning through this consciousness; and, who, as a result, are able to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General Education strengthens students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and / or societal importance?. Please contact the School of English and Liberal Studies at your campus to find out more about the variety of General Education courses from which you can choose.
CPP200 - Work Integrated Learning Professional Practice
The integration of classroom activities with work term experiences is vital for the complete and successful learning and understanding of co-of work term experiences. Structured integration and reflective learning with peers provide the opportunity to make sense out of work experiences, to put these experiences into broader perspectives, and to internalize learning.
