  • CMES 2010: Energy and Society

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    Energy moves through all Earth's systems. Ancient solar energy is stored in geologic reserves. Plants convert sunlight to sugars, providing the basis for how energy moves through organisms as food. The human legacy on Earth is intertwined with both these energy sources, which we leveraged to generate stunning technological advances while also creating some of the most pressing environmental and humanitarian issues ever faced. This course promotes an understanding of where energy comes from, how it is used in human society, and the benefits and trade-offs to different types of energy production - cross-cutting concepts important to informed citizens in the 21st century. This is a flipped course in which students engage with lectures and readings online, and class sessions are devoted to applying concepts, practicing skills, and engaging in experiential exercises to promote deeper understanding of course material.

  • CMES 3600: Contemporary CMES

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This class introduces students to foundational concepts and themes in the interdisciplinary field of gender studies, with a focus on contemporary issues at the personal, interpersonal, and institutional levels (Unit 1). The second half of the semester turns the Gender Studies lens to the fields of study and professional practice in the College of Mines & Earth Sciences (Unit 2). While our focus in this course is on the social construct of gender and its applications to fields of study and professional practice in the College of Mines & Earth Sciences, this lens will provide a framework for students to consider other aspects of identity (e.g., race, class, ability') and their relevance to the fields of study and professional practice in the College of Mines & Earth Sciences.
