Integrated Environmental Planning IEP 276 Ecological Restoration and Remediation This course will cover applied ecological restoration and remediation techniques common in the environmental planning fields. Restoration project planning and implementation will follow techniques developed by the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER). Topics covered will include project scoping and plan development, field data collection, plant propagation techniques, project implementation in the field, routine and intensive monitoring, and report preparation. Learners can expect to be in the field every day and working on data collection and synthesis during the evenings. This is an intensive 32 hour course offered in a one-week time block in the spring semester. IEP 277 Environmental Planning Applications This course will cover an environmental planning topic with a field focus. Learners will cover project scoping for environmental planning, stakeholder consultation, field data collection, research, and report preparation. This is an intensive 32 hour course offered in a one-week time block in the spring semester. IEP 250 Environmental Planning Applications I In this course, the first of a two-course sequence including IEP 251, small teams of students apply the knowledge and skills acquired previously and concurrently in other program courses to design and begin to implement a comprehensive, self-directed study to achieve a specified planning objective in a designated geographic area. Each team establishes study requirements, develops a complete study proposal and work plan, obtains and evaluates relevant existing information about the study area, collects and compiles field data needed to verify or update existing data or to describe additional environmental characteristics of the area, and prepares and submits a baseline data report. IEP 260 Systems Ecology This course is an introduction to the science of ecology, building on concepts and information introduced in first year ENVR courses. Emphasis is placed on the basics of ecology, and will focus on the structure and function of various communities including alpine, subalpine, wetland, and riparian ecosystems. Labs will explore various methods of sampling, analysing, and reporting on the physical site factors, habitat, vegetation and wildlife components of these communities. IEP 266 Applied Microbiology This introductory applied environmental microbiology course covers basic microbiological theory and skills including safe lab practices; aseptic technique; preparation of media; isolation and growth of pure cultures; gram staining; microbial enumeration using pour plates, spread plates, membrane filtration and optical density; and identification of micro-organisms using biochemical tests. IEP 270 GIS Applications I Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides the capability to effectively analyze spatial data to assist in the decision making process for those in government, industry and consulting. This course introduces the fundamental concepts and applications of GIS as relevant to environmental planning. Emphasis is placed on developing hands-on expertise with desktop GIS software (ArcView) for displaying and querying spatial data, manipulating tabular data, initiating queries, developing charts and producing map layouts. IEP 280 Environmental Chemistry This introductory environmental chemistry course covers chemical theory and laboratory skills. Laboratory exercises address basic skills including laboratory safety, quantitative measurement, and use of common laboratory apparatus. Laboratory exercises are derived from standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater. The course goal is graduates will master basic chemical theory, use environmental chemistry references, demonstrate safe chemistry laboratory practices, and perform standard methods for the determination of total, suspended and dissolved solids, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity and turbidity in water and wastewater samples. matH 291 Resource Statistics II This course is a continuation of Math 290 - Resource Statistics I. Topics include linear regressions and correlation, inferential statistics, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, goodness of fit and contingency tables. Prerequisites Math 191 IEP 200 Field Trip Study During the spring of the 4th semester, second year students will participate in a field trip to study away from the Castlegar campus. The field trip provides an opportunity for students to see first hand, current management practices, ecosystems and resource management issues in other regions of the province. Students will be actively involved in trip planning and will be presented with opportunities to develop communication skills, job finding skills and professionalism. This course is available only to students registered in the second year of the IEP Program. The course fee changes yearly dependant upon trip logistics. IEP 251 Environmental Planning Applications II In this course, knowledge and skills acquired in other program courses are again used by established, self-directed student teams to complete the planning studies initiated in IEP 250. This course focuses on analyses and aggregation of data collected in the previous semester, predictions of environmental effects of different development options, evaluations of the ecological and socioeconomic significance of those effects, a comparison of the options based on those evaluations, and the selection and presentation of a final development plan. Prerequisites IEP 250. IEP 255 Hydrology II This course is a more in-depth study of the effects of water on our environment. Practical examples are presented for examination, data collection, analyses, and interpretation in several areas including: weather and climate, snowpack, limnology, groundwater, surface runoff and flooding, small hydropower and hydraulic modeling. Prerequisites IEP 254. IEP 271 GIS Applications II This course explores advanced analysis techniques in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) relevant to environmental planning issues. Students build upon prior expertise with GIS software to examine applications related to terrain and suitability modeling. Designed as a project-based course, students apply their skills to real-world project management by completing the steps required to take a GIS project from initial proposal to final map production and report generation. IEP 281 Air and Water Pollution Chemistry This course examines the applied chemistry of water and air pollution. Major topics include: physical and chemical characteristics of water and air, water and air pollution, quantifying water and air pollution, water and air sampling, water treatment, wastewater treatment, mass balance modeling and air pollution dispersion. Applied concepts cover chronic and acute toxicity testing, use of colorimetry and AAS to identify and quantify pollutants, variable speed pumps used with pollution tramping devices for air sampling, gas detection tubes and air sampling meters. Use of spreadsheets for data analysis is an essential component of this course. IEP 290 Environmental Sustainability Sustainability concerns the relationship between humankind and the environment. This course explores that relationship and how, in the words of the Brundtland Commission Report, “we may live to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Clearly, there is no single route to achieving sustainability. Therefore, readings by many authors, technical experts, scientists and philosophers comprise a central component to illustrate the complexity of the topic, the diversity of approaches and resistance to change. There is substantial focus School of Environment and Geomatics Selkirk College 12/13 187
Integrated Environmental Planning on applied skills related to current applications of sustainability principles across the economic spectrum. IEP 291 Applied Research Project This course is a guided independent study of an environmental management topic suitable to the field of study. Learners are required to prepare a project proposal and data collection schedule in consultation with a faculty advisor. Research techniques using library and online resources are required as well as accurate data collection and synthesis. This course culminates with the submission of a technical report to current industry standards and presentation of the research results at the annual spring conference held late in the spring semester. MATH 292 Resource Statistics III This course is a continuation of Math 291 - Resource Statistics II. Topics include sampling techniques, experimental design and computer based application. Additional topics may include analysis of variance, non-parametric statistics or time series forecasting.
