TROY Faculty: Professors: Bruns, Case, Halsor, Redmond Associate Professors: Murthy, Troy, Whitman Adjunct Professors: Hofman, Walski Laboratory Manager: Oram Laboratory Technician: Longenberger Visiting Assistant Professor: Frederick The Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences (EEES) offers the following degree programs: B.S. in Environmental Engineering B.S. in Earth and Environmental Sciences B.A. in Earth and Environmental Sciences The above programs incorporate a strong background in all of the sciences and include extensive laboratory and field experience. The department highlights unique facilities such as a certified water quality laboratory used for teaching and contract work and The Center for Geographic Information Science (GIS). Other facilities in the area are used for field study in courses and student research. The center for Geographic Information Science is an EEES state-of-the-art technology facility that integrates the use of GIS student research encompassing a variety of applications: environmental planning and assessment, watershed analysis, lake and stream studies, database management and analysis for soils, wetlands, vegetation, land cover, and environmental pollution. The Center was originally funded in 1993 by an extramural EEES faculty research grant and recently was expanded with a faculty education grant to facilitate GIS applications across various courses in the EEES environmental curriculum. |
