EVL234 - Machinery Theory

In this course, students study the construction, components and theory of operation and maintenance of the small gasoline engine. Time will be spent learning troubleshooting and maintenance techniques.  Whatever it be lawn mowing, arboriculture work or leaf collection, there will always be a machine used to perform the task. This equipment is powered by the small internal combustion engine which is the backbone of an entire industry. It is vital for the Landscape professional to understand the operation of these engines from a user point of view.  By having a thorough knowledge of the theories of operation of the engine, minor problems are easily recognized and repaired. By performing proper and timely maintenance on the engines, most breakdowns are avoided.  We will also look at the latest environmentally friendly innovations to the industry.

EVL264 - Greenhouse Operations

Greenhouse and Nurseries are a key sector of the Landscape industry as they grow, nurture and supply the plants required for garden centers, contractors, parks, and municipalities. Greenhouses also grow many of our local vegetables, houseplants and more recently Cannabis Crops.  In this subject, students will gain an understanding of various greenhouse operations, structures and the crops that are commonly grown and cultivated.  Students will explore the physiology and anatomy of plants, different propagation methods, plant nutrition requirements and pest and disease management.   Students will assess the important factors needed to successfully grow crops in a greenhouse environment.   The course will consider greenhouse trends such as edible crops and urban farming, vertical farming and interiorscaping (I.e. landscaping an interior space).

EVL285 - Terrestrial Ecosystems

Prior to European settlement, Ontario was densely covered with mixed forest and scattered meadows. Driven primarily by agriculture, much of the southern part of the province has been cut over, reducing forests to small islands. Some wildlife species benefited from the change and others declined. Many pest species thrive. This subject explores the habitat and biology of organisms in the different types of terrestrial ecosystems of Ontario. Emphasis is on understanding what contributes to a healthy ecosystem and how we can restore biological diversity in degraded ones.
