This course fulfills the University's Junior Year Writing Requirement for students in the College of Engineering. Students will be introduced to traditional technical and scientific writing forms, including outlines, summaries, mechanical and technical descriptions, extended technical definitions, research reports, and proposals. Grammar review, oral presentations and on-line research are significant components of this course. Students will also investigate ethics in engineering practice and research.

Students choose a topic to research on their own under the guidance of a faculty advisor who will then grade the final written report.

This course examines current advances in environmental health science via lectures from UMass faculty with research programs related to environmental health, UMass PhD students in the EHS program, as well as visiting scholars. Seminar topics will change from week to week and will include topics such as pollution, exposure assessments, mechanistic toxicology, environmental health policy, environmental epidemiology, and others.

This course examines current advances in environmental health science via critical reading and discussion of recently published peer-reviewed papers related to environmental health. Using the typical journal club format, the papers (and topics) discussed will change from week to week and will include topics such as pollution, exposure assessments, mechanistic toxicology, environmental epidemiology, and others.

This course provides an introduction to the field of multi-media (e.g., air, water, soil, food) environmental health risk assessment and how society incorporates risk assessment findings into regulations and policy.

Concepts of control methods used by environmental health and engineering practitioners. Topics include water, wastewater, solid wastes, food sanitation, vector control, housing, and accident control measures.

This course provides a forum for the discussion and analysis of conceptual, theoretical, and practical links between multicultural education and students' primary research interests in other fields of study (language policy, bilingualism, teacher education, the education of bicultural students, curriculum, and pedagogy, among others).
