On October 20, 2008, 13 graduate students enrolled in Fall 2008 Air Quality Management class undertook a field trip to “Trace Die Cast” in Bowling Green. Dr. Emmanuel Iyiegbuniwe, the course instructor, has incorporated field trips in the form of City as Text” or “Industry as Text” as pedagogical techniques for teaching air quality management and other environmental health sciences to both undergraduate and graduate students. Simply stated, City as Text or Industry as Text is based on the concept of “active learning” or “experiential learning” (Kolb 1984).
