This course investigates the science behind changes in our atmosphere’s composition and its relation to global change. Students examine the chemistry and physics that determines atmospheric composition on global scales including the effects of biogeochemistry and atmospheric photochemistry.

Outcome 1: Students will improve their ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics (ABET 1).

Outcome 2: Students will display an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (ABET 3).
