AC-2: Learning Outcomes

Environmental Science: The program provides a comprehensive understanding of the functions of local and global ecosystems and examines how they are affected by human activities. Students consider scientific evidence demonstrating how human activities threaten many ecosystems, and they critically study alternatives to present practices. The Environmental Science program trains students to examine the impact of man on the environment from sociological, political and economic viewpoints. Graduates are able to: • apply concepts and implement the skills learned in the sciences, mathematics and humanities to real-world environmental issues • demonstrate skills in literature research, debate and discussion, oral presentation and scientific techniques and methodology • demonstrate awareness of local environmental problems and efforts • demonstrate awareness of specialization, career and employment opportunities in the field of environmental science COMMERCIAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY, ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE Students receive instruction in quantitative and manipulative skills associated with web-based Digital Controls, Controller hardware and software set-up and troubleshooting, networking, integration and programming as it applies to building automation; building walk-throughs for the identification of Energy Conservation Opportunities (ECOs), Level 1 & Level-2 Energy Audits, Analysis of Equipment/System performance and the Commissioning Process. Students learn to use tools and testing instruments used in the field by Energy Auditors and Building Commissioning Agents, and perform building walk-throughs and assemble Energy Audit reports, together with the use of Energy Auditing software.
