Ideally, students shouldhave ample opportunities to apply previous course content to new courses, areas, and problems.The purpose of this paper is to describe two elective courses designed for science andengineering majors in their junior or senior year of a STEM program. The first course described,Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics, has been successfully implemented for four semesters whilebeing continuously revised. The second course is in the design stage and will be ready forimplementation in the next academic year. For both courses, the approach has been to create atechnical course that combines content from
