An exploration of the Earth system for engineering students to provide an appreciation of global and local-scale geological processes and the influence of these processes on the Earth system through geologic time. Key topics include the rock cycle, plate tectonics, weathering and erosion, water, geologic hazards, geologic resources, and earth-science careers. Students will learn practical applications of rock and mineral identification and properties through laboratory activities. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the College of Engineering. Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): GE 102.2 Note: Students with credit for all four of BIOL 102.1, CHEM 142.1, GEOL 102.1 and PHYS 152.1 will receive 3 credit units of elective credit in Arts & Science B.Sc. or B.A.&Sc. programs, and 3 credit units of science or elective credit in B.A., B.F.A., or B.Mus. programs. Students who do not pass all four courses will receive no credit in Arts & Science programs.
