3 Program Description A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY The Environmental Sciences department was established in the early 1970 s in order to respond to the country s emerging interest in environmental issues such as pollution, endangered species and urban sprawl. Initially, the program consisted mainly of policyoriented courses such as Environment and Man and Environment and Public Policy. In the early 1990 s, the department changed direction and began to emphasize biological and ecological skills as they related to the environment. The bread-and-butter course, Environment and Man was completely redesigned and renamed to Environmental Biology. The Environmental Sciences department is host to many field-oriented short courses such as Natural History of California Field Lecture and Geology and Marine Biology of the Channel Islands. The department s main service is to provide environmentally-oriented general education science options for transfer students, and to provide field study experiences to science majors and nature enthusiasts. Although the department offers an Associate of Arts degree, few students pursue this degree. B. PROGRAM GOALS Upon successful completion of courses in the Environmental Sciences department, students will be able to: 1. Apply accepted understandings and principles of modern science as the primary means of characterization and assessment of natural systems. 2. Clarify and simplify the basic foundations of modern evolution theory in terms of genetics theory and ecology theory. 3. Indicate on a world, regional or local map the distribution patterns of biodiversity, major ecosystems, make general statements about the ecological value of biodiversity, and enumerate current threats to biodiversity. 4. Identify in the field surrounding ecological communities and justify their placement with respect to the observed mix of physical and biological conditions. 5. Explain the science that characterizes pressing environmental issues such as biodiversity loss and global warming. As a result of participation in the program, students will have the following 5-7 skills and knowledge sets: 1. Students will be able to objectively evaluate claims about natural systems based on rhetoric with claims based on empirical evidence. 2. Students will be able to characterize specific living things in terms of their internal biological processes, the resources those processes demand, resource exploitation styles, and the resulting environmental consequences. 3. Students will be able to identify, characterize and compare major ecosystem types, locally and globally in terms of dominant wildlife, climate, and other limiting factors. 4. Students will be able to identify native species of plants and animals in a variety of regional ecosystems. 5. Students will be able to identify adaptive features on plants and animals, and will be able to predict the rewarding services such features provide.

Program Outcomes Analysis A. REPORT ON STATUS OF PREVIOUS REVIEW OUTCOMES ANALYSIS The previous program review of 1999 proposed to make advances in the following areas: Implementation of new technology Change in mode of delivery Introduction of new courses, programs, etc Since the time of the previous program review, the department faculty have made significant progress to achieve these goals. In particular, projected computer images are a standard part Program Review: Environmental Sciences Department, Natural Sciences Division 5
6 of lecture presentations for all full-time and part-time faculty. Instructors use computers in lecture to project PowerPoint presentations, web content, Google Earth tours, web-based video, computer animations and more. Delivery modes are rapidly evolving as students have greater access to course materials online. The department now offers a fully-online version of the department s main course, ENVS 105 F Environmental Biology. The online version provides web-based quizzes, chat sessions and a discussion forum. In addition, on-campus students for ENVS 105 F can test their progress by taking online quizzes. The department has just completed a thorough revision of all of its courses. Several new courses have been added. B.

Course Retention, Course Success in Environmental Sciences Table 1 and Figure 4 indicate very high course retention in Environmental Sciences courses, consistently above 80%. The data also indicate high student success, ranging between 68% and 79% over the time period, with recent modest declines in the last two most recent years. Program Efficiency for Environmental Sciences % % Fill Rate 80% 60% 40% WSCH per FTEF Fill Rate (Census) WSCH per FTEF 20% % Academic Year 440 Figure 5. Program Efficiency for Environmental Sciences Table 1 and Figure 5 indicate recent strong increases in fill rates and WSCH per FTEF. These two factors are strong indicators of program efficiency, which point to an increasingly productive and efficient program. C. IDENTIFICATION OF TRENDS Increased public interest in the environment appears to be translating into higher enrollments in Environmental Sciences courses. Greater interest also is likely behind the recent upsurge in Environmental Science majors. Other factors also may be in play. For example, community college enrollments have been increasing in the last two years because of poor economic Program Review: Environmental Sciences Department, Natural Sciences Division 8
9 conditions, and reductions at CSU and UC campuses. These conditions could produce a natural flood of students to community colleges in general, causing all programs to swell. The Environmental Sciences department has gone through recent turbulent times as a result of recent retirements. For several recent years, about half of the program was being taught by adjunct faculty. The delay in finalizing retirement replacements caused a significant lapse in department planning. This situation has stabilized with the granting of tenure to new department member, Royden Hobbs (as a replacement for Mark Parratt). The department is now aggressively planning for the future. D. IMMEDIATE SHORT-TERM PLANS The Environmental Sciences department recently has revised all course offerings, and has added new courses. At the time of this program review report, all courses are in the final district level approval stage The revised and new courses are listed below: ENVS 105 F Environmental Biology ENVS 105LF Environmental Biology Lab ENVS 106 F Conservation Biology ENVS 126 F Natural History of California ENVS 126FF Natural History of California Field Lecture ENVS 140 F Birds of Southern California ENVS 141 F Desert Natural History ENVS 142 F Geology and Marine Biology of the Channel Islands ENVS 143 F Baja California Field Studies ENVS 144 F Marine Biology of Baja California ENVS 145 F Marine Vertebrate Ecology of the Channel Islands ENVS 170 F Astrobiology ENVS 196 F Regional Field Studies: Environmental Sciences E. LONG-TERM PLANS Drawing from data, external influences, trends in the discipline, and college goals/initiatives, identify concrete activities the program needs to engage in to modify the program. Can activities be accomplished in 3-5 years? The department currently is modifying the Environmental Sciences Associate of Arts degree program. The revision is 95% complete at this time and soon will be ready to submit for formal program revision. The purpose of the revision is to provide greater flexibility to support the many diverse workplace connections to the environment. The revised program provides a sensible list of required courses that give candidates a solid biological and geographical background. The program then offers several tracks of restricted electives that encourage candidates to specialize in one related area. Tracks include: Biological Sciences; Physical Sciences; Social Sciences, and Technical. For the first time, the Environmental Sciences department will have dedicated space in the new science building at Fullerton College. The building is scheduled for completion at the end of New space includes an equipment storage room and a Field Prep. Lab. Our long-term Program Review: Environmental Sciences Department, Natural Sciences Division 9
10 plan is to uses these new resources to support and enhance on-campus and field courses. For example, the new equipment storage room can make access to field equipment much more convenient, which will result in greater use. Having a dedicated instructional space (Field prep. Lab), will allow the department to permanently display instructional resources like maps, charts, aerial photos and other educational props. REQUEST FOR RESOURCES Overall and not ironically, the Environmental Sciences program at Fullerton College continues to be very successful while demanding little in terms of resources. Historically, our program has consumed small amounts of financial resources from the Division of Natural Sciences, Fullerton College and the North Orange County Community College District. Occasional Field Equipment Except for teachers salaries, the program typically seeks few additional resources. Occasionally, the department seeks to replace essential field equipment such as a Zodiac inflatable boat, camping equipment, and sampling equipment. Many of our laboratory activities occur at field locations, reducing demand for the purchase of costly laboratory equipment and consumables. Our low impact laboratory program operates successfully while demanding little and often no support from paid laboratory technicians. Based on our historical frugality and considering our modest plans for the future, we have no extraordinary needs for resources. Still, the faculty of the department of Environmental Sciences has ongoing resource needs in the following areas: Desktop Computing Resources Current desktop computing resources at Fullerton College are several generations behind. For example, they struggle to run Windows XP, an operating system that is two generations behind the present Windows 7. Although Windows 7 recommends 2 GB of system RAM, most desktops have only 512 MB or less system RAM. The department would like to request desktop computing resources that can easily run present generation operating systems (i.e., Windows 7). Lecture Computing Resources Current lecture computers are similar to desktop computers and suffer accordingly. Presently, there are no computing resources in lab rooms used by Environmental Sciences faculty. The department would like to request lecture computing resources in classrooms and Field Prep. labs that can easily run present generation operating systems (i.e., Windows 7). LCD Projectors Presently, lecture rooms and laboratory rooms either have no installed LCD projectors, or have LCD projectors that are nearly 10 years old. The department would like to request that present-generation LCD projectors be permanently installed in all lecture rooms and the Field Prep lab in the new building.
