and chemical agents
3. Demonstrate the ability to trade-off the mixture of controls that are necessary in the practice of
industrial hygiene
4. Demonstrate the ability to seek information on controls available in the literature and from
vendors.
B. Learning Outcomes
1. Recognize health hazards that cause illness and injury associated
with occupations

group projects.
A: Attend class, participate in discussions, participate in at least five
group projects, and participate in the final group project.
G. Assignments, Exams and Tests
1. Homework Assignments: Groups will complete topic-based assignments on controls and present
those to the class. The product will be discussed between the instructor and the group.
2. Class Project and Presentation: Class will complete answers to a package of questions and discuss
those analyses and control approaches with the instructor.
H. Attendance Policy
Course Attendance at First Class Meeting Policy for Graduate Students: For structured courses, 6000 and above, the College/Campus Dean will set the first-day class attendance requirement. Check with the College for specific information. This policy is not applicable to courses in the following categories: Educational Outreach, Open University (TV), FEEDS Program, Community Experiential Learning (CEL), Cooperative Education Training, and courses that do not have regularly scheduled meeting days/times (such as, directed reading/research or study, individual research, thesis, dissertation, internship, practica, etc.). Students are responsible for dropping undesired courses in these categories by the 5th day of classes to avoid fee liability and academic penalty. (See USF Regulation Registration - 4.0101,
http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/ogc%20web/currentreg.htm)
Attendance Policy for the Observance of Religious Days by Students: In accordance with Sections 1006.53 and 1001.74(10)(g) Florida Statutes and Board of Governors Regulation 6C-6.0115, the University of South Florida (University/USF) has established the following policy regarding religious observances: (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/gc_pp/acadaf/gc10-045.htm)
