Environmental Microbiology: Lesson Two

Here is the second lesson of the course Environmental Microbiology offered in the Environmental Science program at Avans University of Applied Science.

Click on this link to download the second lesson. The topic is metabolism and growth. As part of this lesson the following sub-topics are discussed:

• Respiration
• Fermentation
• Microbial growth
• Effects of environmental variables on micro-organisms

Again, except for the first sheet, the presentation is in English. The textbook used to prepare this presentation was Brock: Biology of Microorganisms (Twelfth Ed.).

Environmental Microbiology: Lesson One

As part of the curriculum of Environmental Science, I give lectures in Environmental Microbiology.

Click on this link to download the first lesson. The topic is a background and introduction to Microbiolgy. Several topics are covered including:

• A short history


• Morphology


• Taxonomy


• Motility

Except for the first sheet, the presentation is completely in English. The textbook used as a basis to this presentation (and a book that I highly recommend) is Brock: Biology of Microorganisms.

Curriculum Environmental Science for Sustainable Energy and Technology - Year Two

This is the latest curriculum for the second year at the department of Environmental Science for Sustainable Energy and Technology at Avans University in Breda. The second year is divided into four knowledge streams. These streams are:

• Group Projects and Experiments (24 study points)
• Environmental Engineering (9 study points)
• Advanced Chemistry, Ecology and Biology (13 study points)
• International Environmental Policy and Law (7 study points)
• Professional Competencies (7 study points)

Curriculum Environmental Science for Sustainable Energy and Technology - Year One

This is the latest curriculum for the first year at the department of Environmental Science for Sustainable Energy and Technology at Avans University in Breda. The first year is divided into four knowledge streams. These streams are:

• Group Projects and Experiments (24 study points)
• Mathematics and Statistics (6 study points)
• Chemistry, Ecology and Biology (18 study points)
• Policy and Intercultural Communications (7 study points)
• Professional Competencies (6 study points)
  

Curriculum Environmental Science for Sustainable Energy and Technology

So here is the most recent curriculum for the Bachelor of Science Program for Environmetal Science at Avans University in Breda.

This is the curriculum for the first two years. Each year is divided into four quarters. Each quarter has a different theme. While the themes are carried throughout the courses this does not mean that the main subject of each is this theme. For example, the course statistics (given in period 4) uses toxicology and risk as examples.

The courses themselves follow four knowledge lines. These are:

• Group Projects and Experiments (Year One and Two)
• Mathematics and Statistics (Year One) and Environmental Engineering (Year Two)
• Chemistry, Ecology and Biology (Year One) and Advanced Chemistry, Ecology and Biology (Year Two)
• Policy and Cultural Communication (Year One) and International Environmental Policy and Law (Year Two)
• Professional Competencies (Year One and Two)
