    This course involves individual research on a specific problem in engineering or a related field under the advice of a faculty member. Students must discuss research opportunities with any faculty members whose areas of expertise interest them. This course can be repeated for credit.
  • 1.00 - 12.00 Credits

    Supervised, practical work experience in laboratory and/or field situations. Students interested in developing an individualized vocationally oriented program which may assist in future career options may structure a work-study experience with the cooperating agency or organization. A proposal outlining the work-study experience should be submitted to the student's supervising faculty member and the department chairperson. Clock hours will be determined by the cooperating agency or organization. Semester hour credit will be based upon the proposal and scheduled clock hours.

    Regenerative Agriculture is a system approach to soil, ecosystem, human, environmental, and planetary health. Successful, sustainable outcomes depend on the practical application and integration of theory and knowledge from multiple associated disciplines. This course provides the integrative field experience necessary to prepare students to pursue those sustainable outcomes. This course is intended to be taken for 6 consecutive semesters by majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as an elective and an opportunity to learn more about agriculture, sustainability, climate change, and environmental science.

    Regenerative Agriculture is a system approach to soil, ecosystem, human, environmental, and planetary health. Successful, sustainable outcomes depend on the practical application and integration of theory and knowledge from multiple associated disciplines. This course provides the theoretical introduction to Regenerative Agriculture and is supported by application of that theory and integration with other, key disciplines, in 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (EVSC 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to the concepts of regenerative agriculture.

    Truly regenerative agriculture, to be successful, cannot be only for the elite, but must reach all segments of society. To succeed in this, practitioners of regenerative agriculture need to understand the broader geographical, cultural, social, and political systems within which they operate. This course is intended as an introduction to concepts surrounding food justice and food security in the context of agriculture and is supported by 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (ENV 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to the concepts of food justice.

    Soils are complex systems. Each and every aspect of the soil is connected. This course focuses on developing knowledge of the description and interpretation of the fundamental physical, biological and chemical principles of soil regeneration and health. This course is intended as a theoretical introduction to soils in the context of agriculture and is supported by application of soil science in 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (EVSC 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to the concepts of soil science.

    Climate change is a complex and broad topic that poses many challenges to the physical, social, and economic realms. Climate change, driven largely by the anthropogenic burning of fossil fuels, will strain ecosystems and, more specifically, agriculture. This course focuses on understanding the natural and human processes behind climate change and how those processes interface with the agricultural practices. This course is intended as a theoretical introduction to climate change in the context of agriculture and is supported by application of climate science in 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (EVSC 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to the concepts of soil science.

    Plant diseases are a challenging issue for crop production. Some diseases, especially those caused by fungi, can result in devastating yield losses and are therefore a serious economic burden to farmers. In order to address the challenge of plant diseases in regenerative agriculture, understanding how, why and when diseases develop is very important. This course introduces students to the concepts of plant diseases in the context of agriculture and is supported by 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (EVSC 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to plant diseases of field crops.
