A lecture- and laboratory-based course covering fundamental geologic concepts of plate tectonics, formation of rocks and minerals, earth forces that cause earthquakes and volcanoes, and the significance of geologic time in effecting changes in the distribution of continents and oceans. The laboratory experience reinforces and applies concepts discussed during lecture, including effective use of topographic and geologic maps, identification of common rocks and minerals, and three-dimensional interpretation of rock structures, such as folds and faults. The course consists of three hours lecture, three hours lab per week, and one full-day mandatory field activity.

This course will emphasize the geology of earth's natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides, global warming and ozone depletion. Students will learn how geologic processes can directly affect people, property and human made structures. Procedures to mitigate such hazards will be explored. In addition to earth's natural hazards, some other important concepts to be addressed include population growth pressures on natural resources, uniformitarianism and geology as a foundation to understanding our environment. Course entails three hours of lecture per week and four 3-5 hour mandatory laboratory exercises per semester.

This course is designed to give the student basic knowledge in the following areas of solar energy: history, sun movement, climatological data for Reno, Nevada; energy reflection, transmission and absorption, heat transfer, heat storage, collector systems and sizing.

This course is an overview of engineering practice and provides exposure to the environment in which engineers work. The course introduces the design process including initial conceptualization (sketching), detailed drawings (drafting), and prototype fabrication (machine shop). Learning to work as part of an engineering team is a central part of this course.

Problems of meaning, word derivation and word formation are investigated with a view to enlarging and refining a working English vocabulary. Transfers for two credits to UNLV/UNR.
