ECOSEAM
The Educational Collaborative on Sustainable Environmental and
Agricultural Management
ECOSEAM
ECOSEAM is an educational collaborative on sustainable
environmental and agricultural management between Michigan State
University, Purdue University, Ohio State University and Central
State University. This slide show will give an overview of the
ECOSEAM program and each of its courses.1Moderated web-based
self-study
Technical courses in agricultural and watershed engineering
Knowledge and practical experience through class and
professional mentoringOverview of ECOSEAM
ECOSEAM is a unique web-based self-study program offering
technical courses in the area of agricultural and watershed
engineering. Students will gain knowledge and practical experience
through class and professional mentoring preparing students for
public policy, land use management and environmental
engineering.2Instructors:Dr. Lingying ZhoaOhio State University
Prerequisites:Junior in Engineering or aboveOr Food,
Agriculture, Environmental Sciences Majors
Credits: 4
Agricultural Air Quality Engineering
Agricultural Air Quality Engineering will cover fundamentals of
air quality within and from animal production facilities,
assessment of indoor air quality and air emissions, and evaluation
of air emission impacts on neighboring communities. The selection
and design of air pollution control options will also be discussed.
This course is taught by Dr. Zhoa of Ohio State

Environmental Management Options for Animal Agriculture
Environmental Management Options for Animal Agriculture will
focus on high priority manure management issues. Students will
develop and design a manure handling and storage system for modern
food animal operation. Included is a visit to an existing manure
handling facility. This course is taught by Dr. Keener and Jon
Rausch of Ohio State University.4Instructors:Dr. William Northcott,
Steve Miller P.E.Michigan State University
Prerequisites:Hydrology and HydraulicsMajor Water Quality
IssuesShow competency through examination
Credits: 4
Suburban/Rural Watershed Interface Modeling
Students of Suburban/Rural Watershed Interface Modeling will use
watershed scale water quantity and quality models at the
suburban/rural interface to evaluate the impacts of changes in land
use management practices. They will also design best management
practices to address stream water quality and quantity problems.
This course is taught by Dr. Northcott and Steve Miller, both of
Michigan State University.5Instructors:Larry Stephens P.E., Dr. Ted
LoudonMichigan State University
Prerequisites:Microbiology or BiochemistryFluid
MechanicsFundamentals of Soil Science
Credits: 4Design and Management of Decentralized Wastewater
Systems
In Design and Management of Decentralized Wastewater Systems,
students will learn the concepts and methods of site evaluation,
matching sites with various technologies, and be introduced to
design tools and methods for various on-lot and cluster wastewater
systems. Students will also learn how the role of decentralized
wastewater treatment systems relates to sustainable wastewater
management infrastructure of the future. This course is taught by
Dr. Ted Loudon of Michigan State University and Larry Stephens of
Stephens Consulting Services.6Luke ReeseRecruiting and Marketing223
