Introductory internship experience. Internship sites are usually off campus, generally part-time, and often without pay. This introductory level experience provides the opportunity for freshmen and sophomores to gain internship experience in an area not directly related to their major, explore career options, and earn academic credit for the experience. See the office of Career Services three to six months prior to the time an internship is planned. Requires a 2.0 GPA. Students must register for credit prior to the start date of the internship.

This course introduces the field of geographic information systems (GIS) and how it is used in the field of sustainability and conservation locally and globally. Students will be introduced to the background and the methodologies of data collection in this science. They will also read articles and analyze results produced by GIS in the field of sustainability. This course will focus on the application of this science in the field, and research trends using this technology. Restricted to sophomore, junior, or senior standing.

Advanced level internship experience. Internship sites are usually off campus, generally part-time, and often without pay. This advanced level experience provides the opportunity for juniors and seniors to gain valuable internship experience in an area not directly related to their major, explore career options, and earn academic credit for the experience. See the office of Career Services three to six months prior to the time an internship is planned. Requires a 2.3 GPA. Students must register for credit prior to the start date of the internship.

This course will provide experiential learning in sustainability through an internship, field practicum, research experience or global experience. In addition, students will meet throughout the semester to connect their experience with the principles developed in the program. Restricted to environmental sustainability majors or sustainable management majors only. Restricted to students with senior standing or higher.

Four hours lecture/discussion per week The course provides an overview of musculoskeletal anatomy, the mechanical properties and structural behavior of biological tissues, and biodynamics. Specific course topics will include structure and function relationships in tissues and organs; application of stress and strain analysis to biological tissues; analysis of forces in human function and movement; energy and power in human activity; introduction to modeling viscoelasticity of tissues. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in BIOL 104 or 160, PHYS 250 and 270 or 260 and 270.
