ENVI 1120 cr-2
Environmental Issues and Communication Skills

This course provides an introduction to environmental issues, problems and solutions. Topics will include resource conservation as well as pollution issues. Instruction on preparation of oral and written presentations related to these concerns is an integral part of this course.

ENVI 1125 cr-5
Environmental Physics

This is an algebra-based general survey physics course at an introductory first year level, intended for students entering the Environmental Protection Technology Program. Topics covered are: vectors, linear and rotational kinematics and dynamics, work and energy, oscillations, waves and sound, thermodynamics, fluid statics and dynamics.

Prerequisites: Physics 11 (with a C or better) or PHYS 1100 or ACPP 0088 and Mathematics 12 (with a C or better) or MATH 1112 (or higher level)

ENVI 1206 cr-5
Environmental Chemistry II

Students will study chemistry with a focus on environmental issues and applications. They will study oxidation-reduction reactions, general equilibria (with applications to electrochemistry, solubility, and acids and bases), with intermolecular forces (with applications to miscibility and boiling/freezing points), and reaction kinetics.

Prerequisites: ENVI 1106

ENVI 1210 cr-5
Electronics With Instrumentation

ENVI 1210 is an introduction to electronics with an orientation to the use of equipment used in the field for sampling and analyzing air, water and soil quality. Topics include D.C. and A.C. circuits, semi-conductor diodes and power supplies, transistors and amplifiers, A.C. and D.C. machines and methods of connecting, and computer interfacing and automated measurement.

Prerequisites: Successful completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology Program or permission from the program convenor and instructor.

ENVI 1216 cr-5
Introduction to Geology, Hydrology and Atmospheric Processes

This course is an introduction to the basic principles of geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, and atmospheric science. It is intended to provide students in the Environmental Protection Technology program with information about the physical environment that is important in understanding and studying the behaviour and impacts of pollutants.

ENVI 1220 cr-4
Environmental Issues and Analysis

ENVI 1220 is a sequel to ENVI 1120. Environmental issues will be studied in more depth. The complex nature of these issues will be explored and analysed. As in ENVI 1120, students will be instructed in the preparation of written and oral presentations, including using standard business formats.

Prerequisites: ENVI 1120

ENVI 2305 cr-3
Introduction to Environmental Toxicology

This course is an introduction to the principles/ of toxicology and the toxicological testing of chemicals. The toxicity of air, water and soil pollutants to humans and other organisms is discussed.

Prerequisites: The successful completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology Program or permission from the program convenor and instructor.
Transferable: SFU

ENVI 2310 cr-3
Solid Waste Technology

This course will survey current methods of reducing, recycling and managing solid wastes. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods will be studied.

Prerequisites: The successful completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology program or permission from the program convenor and instructor.

ENVI 2315 cr-5
Water and Soil Sampling

This course will train students in field sampling procedures, instrumentation and analytical methods used in water and soil quality assessment and control.

Prerequisites: CHEM 1105 or equivalent.

ENVI 2320 cr-3
Environmental Emergency Planning and Response

Students will learn to implement procedures to be followed in the event of environmental emergencies such as spills and dangerous goods incidents. Students will be trained in the safe handling of dangerous goods and hazardous materials. Upon completion of the course, students will receive certificates on the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Systems (WHMIS), the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG), and the Emergency Response to Hazardous Materials Incidents (NFPA, Awareness Level).

Prerequisites: The completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology Program or permission from the program convenor and instructor.

ENVI 2405 cr-3
Environmental Legislation

Students will study current environmental legislation at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. Students will learn the correct procedures for adhering to current legislation. Other discussion topics will include professional codes of practice, and conflict resolution.

Prerequisites: The completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology Program or permission from the program convenor and instructor.

ENVI 2410 cr-3
Water and Wastewater Treatment Methods

Students will learn current methods of water and wastewater treatment, including small and large-volume systems used by industry and municipalities.

Prerequisites: The completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology Program or permission from the program convenor and instructor.

ENVI 2415 cr-5
Air Monitoring and Pollution Control

Students will gain experience with comprehensive sampling, instrumentation and analytical techniques used in air quality control and monitoring.

Prerequisites: The completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology Program or permission from the program convenor and instructor.

ENVI 2420 cr-5
Hazardous Waste and Contaminated Site Management

Current standards for all aspects of handling hazardous wastes will be studied. The methods for managing contaminated sites will be reviewed. Topics for discussion will include hazardous waste regulations, site contamination assessment and remediation standards.

Prerequisites: The completion of all first year courses in the Environmental Protection Technology Program or permission from the program convenor & instructor.

ENVI 2425 cr-1.5
Health and Safety on Contaminated Sites

Students will learn to recognize, evaluate and control common contaminated site hazards while wearing protective suits and respirators. The course is equivalent to the US NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) and the Canadian NCSTP (National Contaminated Site Training Program) courses on contaminated site health and safety. Students will receive a certificate upon completion.
