CURRICULAR GUIDE
Environmental Resource Management Technology
Associate in Applied Science
Curriculum Code: 0793 (Effective Fall 1999 - Summer 2004)
Environmental Technicians may work for environmental/engineering consulting
firms, local or state regulatory agencies, manufacturers, recycling and waste
management companies and local utility and public service (works) departments.
They perform tasks such as environmental sample collection and monitoring,
instrument calibration, report writing and data management. Environmental
Technicians may help clients comply with governmental environmental standards,
assist in field investigations, work as a team member on a waste or
contamination site. They use computer skills to work with environmental data
as well as the concepts of chemistry, biology, meteorology, geology and
hydrology to help professionals determine the movement and effects of
environmental contaminants. Not all courses in this program transfer to all
colleges. Students planning to transfer should see an academic advisor before
enrolling in any course.
