In this course, you will both individually and in teams to explore the inherently interdisciplinary environmental challenges facing society. You will engage in discussions, debates, and problem-based team projects to learn about, critically consider, reflect on, and address both local and global environmental problems. You will investigate the impacts of human activities on forests, water, fish and wildlife populations, urban areas, and climate change. If you are an NRC major, this will prepare you for upper-level studies.

The use and maintenance of trees in the urban environment from both a private and government perspective.

In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of owning/operating a tree care business. We will cover basic cost accounting and estimating for pruning, fertilization, and support system installation. We will also review the importance of a company safety policy.

Principles of rigging, advanced rope techniques, and chainsaw applications for tree pruning and removal.

The goals of this course are to teach you basic GIS concepts such as spatial data sources and structures, projections and coordinate systems, geospatial analysis, cartographic modeling, and the integration of remote sensing and GIS. By the end of the course, students will be proficient in ESRI ArcGIS software.

Introduction to the human dimension of resource management. Topics include social values, demographics, outdoor recreation, agency history and mandates, economic valuation, resource allocation, stakeholder groups, the commons dilemma, and other topics. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-NRC majors.

In this course, we will consider the molecular and cellular mechanisms necessary for proper development and function of synapses and neural circuits in the brain and how information processing through these largely static structures can be reconfigured and modulated to permit organisms to modify behavior. Our discussions of nervous system function will consider not only the normal brain, but how disruption of synaptic and circuit function contributes to disease.

Provides the background necessary to understand the molecular and cellular processes underlying brain development and neural functioning. This understanding is becoming increasingly important with the advent of transgenic animals and their use.
