CH 245 - Environmental Chemistry (CBL-R) (SF)

This is both a Community-Based Learning - Required (CBL-R)  and Sustainability-Focused (SF)  course.

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisite: CH 131 or permission of instructor.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Apply a knowledge of chemistry to understand fundamental environmental processes and how pollutants move, transform, and accumulate in air and water.
• Understand how our demand for energy, materials, and water is an important driver for our local, regional and global environmental problems, and how chemistry plays a role as both constraint and innovating force in solving problems.
• Develop analytical and mathematical tools and models to better understand environmental processes and problems.
• Provide scientific analysis and interpretation to an authentic, local environmental problem.
• Communicate results through the creation of distributable information, and informal and formal dialogue.
