Assessment: Home Environmental Assessment List With Action Plan

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to provide the student an opportunity to assess the environmental health of their home and develop a plan of action to correct any identified deficiencies across system levels. Students are required to construct an affinity diagram of the identified issues and solutions for system level audiences.

Course Outcomes

This assignment provides documentation of student ability to meet the following Course Outcomes.

CO 1: Demonstrate the past and present importance of environmental health and climate change (POs 1 and 3).

CO 2: Analyze the association between population growth and the dissemination of environmental pollutants (POs 1 and 5).

CO 3: Utilize epidemiological and toxicological methods to assess environmental exposures and hazards (PO 6).

CO 4: Compare and contrast policies that have been developed to manage health risks associated with exposures to environmental hazards (POs 3 and 7).

CO 5: Examine chemical, physical, and microbial agents that originate in the environment and can impact human health (POs 2 and 4).

CO 6: Apply environmental health concepts to fields such as water quality control, food safety, and occupational health (POs 2, 3, and 4).
