HSEM 2515H - Experiencing Local Environmental Solutions (2 Cr.) Honors

University Honors Program (10150) TUED - Undergraduate Education Administration

Course description

This is a topical, field-trip-based course. This seminar will address some of the solutions to the environmental problems that affect our society by examining the science and by experiencing the solutions that are used on campus or in the neighboring community. Each week will focus on a solution to a different environmental issue (see schedule below). We will visit the places designed as environmental solutions, hear from the experts, and discuss the engineering and human aspects of these solutions. We will go to areas of campus that you would normally not visit or be able to visit. The field-trip destinations are accessible by campus bus, city bus, or train. The class will involve weekly reading and writing assignments. There will also be a semester-long, hands-on project to devise a realistic, potential solution to an environmental issue.
