Interdisciplinary Science and Technology
IST 2310 Living in the Environment
(fulfills the Wayne State University General Education requirement in the Life Sciences)
Living in the Environment provides an interdisciplinary exploration of environmental science that focuses on the how human habitation has affected both the Earth's environment and living organisms. Environmental science draws upon the theories and methods of a number of natural sciences, including biology, ecology, chemistry, and physics. It also applies aspects of the social sciences, especially economics and politics, to help evaluate the impact of human industrial, social, and economic systems on the environment.
The goal of the course is twofold: to give students an understanding of contemporary environmental problems, both globally and at the local level, and to point out ways in which individuals can actively participate in protecting the earth's resources and ecosystems.
