SYLLABUS IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
COURSE NAME NAT SCI 111 – ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
COURSE CREDITS 3
COURSE DESCRIPTION The syllabus is meant to offer an opportunity for candidates that may not have prior knowledge of science, to study a range of environmental issues from a scientific perspective. Although other dimensions (such as social, cultural, economical and political aspects) may be considered, the programme primarily seeks to provide scientific knowledge and understanding enabling the candidate to review environmental issues more objectively. This would enable them to assess the dimension of the issue and to consider alternative strategies for its resolution. The programme seeks to provide basic environmental literacy for candidates who would later pursue a wide variety of careers but it is also meant to encourage and provide basic knowledge to others who would opt for careers directly related to the environmental field.
To promote a more holistic framework of environmental issues, the approach adopted
must necessarily be interdisciplinary, involving inputs from various fields related to the issues being studied. While ensuring that the programmed provides a global perspective, candidates should also be familiarized with the local and regional dimensions of the environmental issues being studied.
CONTACT HOURS 3 hrs. lecture/week
PREREQUISITES None
COURSE OUTCOMES This course intends to:
A. Acquire and apply scientific knowledge about environmental issues so as to
understand the underlying scientific concepts; B. Develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues by relating scientific knowledge with other perspectives; C. Acquire the necessary problem-solving skills that would enable them to examine and propose alternatives to a variety of environmental problems; D. Develop pro-environmental values and attitudes that foster environmental responsibility; and E. Critically evaluate their attitudes, behavior and values and consequently adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
