CPED 204 - What the frack? An Exploration of Environmental Chemistry (4 Cr.) (GCR ENV)(GCR Biological and Physical Science area)
This course is an introductory exploration of the chemistry at the center of critical environmental issues important to our communities: air quality, natural resource availability, climate change and energy production (from renewable resources, fossil fuels, and nuclear plants). Chemistry is at the heart of environmental challenges and solutions, such as green chemistry and remediation techniques, will be studied. In individual and group projects, students will gain experience with practical chemistry as they conduct lab and field experiments involving the ecosystems local to Goucher campus. This will then be considered in the context of regional issues and the greater role of environmental chemistry on a global scale. Students are limited to one CPE course per semester.
