Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

• Interpret the fundamental principles of ecology and environmental chemistry.
• Identify and analyze chemical processes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere.
• Explain biogeochemical cycles (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.).
• Describe fundamental chemical reactions relevant to water, materials, and soils.
• Analyze pollution impacts from liquid and solid wastes and explain basic treatment and management techniques.
