environmental, and other factors as appropriate to the design. The student’s main work product is the preparation of a professional quality design proposal and a presentation. Students will also begin their preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering examination, learn about teamwork, and study the engineer’s Professional Code of Ethics. 3 credits, Fall ENV 495: Senior Design II This course continues the study of the design process in environmental engineering. The design project developed in ENV 494 is implemented. The course’s main objective is the conduct of a project which results in an improvement to, or the development of a system for pollution control, pollutant fate and transport modeling, or other related process or operation relevant to environmental engineering. Data generation, presentation, and analysis will be required. The project concludes with the preparation of a professional quality report and presentation. Prerequisite: ENV 494 3 credits, Spring ENV 496: Senior Thesis I This course is the first part of a two-semester senior research project course that provides students with an introduction to the scientific method and the scientific literature. Students will author a research proposal that includes a background literature search, a statement of the research objectives and outline of a research plan. A requirement of the course is a presentation of the proposed work to a professional audience. 3 credits, Fall ENV 497: Senior Thesis II This course is the second part of a two-part sequence for all Environmental Science majors. The research proposal, prepared and finalized in the previous semester, is implemented. Based on the project, students will focus on gathering and analyzing data and summarizing the results. The class will meet as a group for presentation of material relating to analysis and presentation of data and results. In addition, each student will meet at least once a week with the Instructor on an individual basis to discuss progress on the project. The major outcome of the course is the Senior Thesis which will be presented to the class and at a professional conference. The Thesis will include a literature review, materials and methods, results and discussion sections. Prerequisites: ENV 496 3 credits, Spring ENV 498: Environmental Internship Students are eligible to receive credits either in the semester in which the internship is completed or the subsequent semester. Credits assigned are based on hours worked and breadth and depth of the student’s responsibilities. Completion of a brief summary report and a supervisor’s evaluation are required. 0-3 Credits, all semesters SEECS (101, 102, 201, 202, 301, 302, 401, 402): Professional and Personal Enrichment Seminar A course description is listed in the Computer and Information Science section of the catalog. 0 credit, Fall and Spring
