OSPAUSTL 10: Coral Reef Ecosystems
Key organisms and processes, and the complexity of coral reef ecosystems. Students explore the Great Barrier Reef from the southern end which demonstrates the physical factors that limit coral reefs, to the northern reef systems which demonstrate key aspects of these high biodiversity ecosystems. Human-related changes. Emphasis is on research experiences and development of analytical skills. Two units only counted for the Biology major.

OSPAUSTL 25: Freshwater Systems
Integrated water resource management and how this applies across the globe, comparing strategies and results in the developing and more developing world. Ethics, values and politics of water and the management of extremes such as drought and flood. Ecology and hydrology in an urban context, along with important current issues such as stormwater and water sensitive urban design. Construction of a well, a water tank, and a pit latrine. Community service working with a local catchment management group on riparian and wetland restoration work. Field work complements lectures.

OSPAUSTL 30: Coastal Forest Ecosystems
Prehistory of Australian rainforest and how rainforest structure and biodiversity change with altitude, latitude, and geology. Tropical coastal marine wetlands, mangrove forests, and the relationship between land- and sea-based biota. Biology and ecology of marine plants, mangroves, and tropical salt marsh. Introduction to specialized fields of marine plant biology and ecology including biogeography and evolution, aquatic plant ecophysiology, water quality and bioindicator techniques, pollution and eutrophication, and environmental control of marine plant distribution and productivity.

OSPBER 4: The Role of Technology in Modern Life: A Comparison between the U.S. and Germany
Technology as a part of our everyday lives and differences between experiences in the U.S. and those in modern Europe, as exemplified by Germans in Berlin. Ways in which technology is intertwined with our lives to the point of not recognizing it. Introductory lectures bring some of these technologies to the fore so students can explore manifestations in modern European life. Topics include transportation, housing and the home, finance, entertainment, and urban/suburban infrastructure. Lectures and group meetings combined with field work.

OSPBER 5: What is Engineering? A look at engineers and their work
Nature of the work that is needed to create the engineered products and services around us. Using a set of bridges in Berlin and the surrounding area as case studies, students engage in substantive exercises in three major activities of engineering: engineering design, engineering analysis, and product manufacturing/construction. Field trips, complemented by problem sets, in-class labs, readings and discussions expose students to these engineering activities in a hands-on manner.
