The viability and ultimate long-term
sustainability of the natural resources and
ecosystems of planet Earth have become issues
of increasing national and international
priority. The professional activities of all
engineers and scientists impact the
availability and quality of these resources and
ecosystems, and, in the sense of life-cycle
reality, are in turn impacted by the
availability, the quality, and the state of
well-being of these resources and ecosystems.
The College of Engineering offers several
environmentally focused degree programs and
endeavors in all of its undergraduate and
graduate degree programs to weave a strong
thread of environmental awareness, responsibility, and functional knowledge.
The Environmental Sciences and Engineering
(ENSCEN) Division serves all environmentally
related programs in the College of Engineering.
At the graduate level it is associated most
closely with the ConsEnSus Program, which is
described (pg 237 of the bulletin), but it also
serves as an aggregation and categorization of
courses in the College, and in other units of
the University that have been approved for
incorporation in graduate degree programs in
Environmental Engineering, such as that offered
by the Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering. At the undergraduate level, ENSCEN
serves the same functions with respect to
identifying and categorizing courses across the
University that can be used to
satisfy departmental requirements or
electives in areas of environmental sciences, engineering, policy, or law.
The courses listed in the ENSCEN Division
are subdivided into three major categories with
respect to programmatic content in order to
facilitate reader orientation. These categories
are: A. Environmental Science and Technology;
B. Environmental Assessment Management and
Policy; and C. Environmental Law and
Regulations. Certain degree or concentration
programs in the College, such as the ConsEnSus
Program, specify required distributions of
credit hours among these three programmatic
categories of courses. Courses described
elsewhere in this Bulletin are listed only by
title, number, credit hours, and terms offered.
More complete descriptions of those courses are
given in the sections of the Bulletin for
cross-listed depart-ments. Full descriptions
are provided in the ENSCEN list for courses not
described elsewhere in this Bulletin (e.g., courses offered in other schools and
colleges).
