3.00 Credits
A course to acquaint students with the chemical aspects of environmental concerns including energy production and use, air and water pollution, pesticides and toxic wastes. The earth and its natural cycles are examined as are changes brought about by human technologies. Methods of monitoring chemical aspects of environmental change including analysis of air and water samples are presented, as are means of ameliorating environmental damage. The integrated laboratory provides 'hands-on' experience with these techniques as well as field trips to areas of concern. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 3 hours. Prerequisite: CHY 102 or permission of instructor. 4 Cr

3.00 Credits
This course is designed to allow students to assimilate the multiple aspects of independent research in a group setting. There are six primary components of the course: 1) review of primary literature pertinent to the project, 2) presentations by invited experts in the field, 3) discussion of stakeholder perspectives and options for effective communication of data, 4) training and education on new technologies and techniques, 5) student presentations (data presentation and summar will be required) and 6) open discussion and trouble-shooting of individual research projects. The specific research topics addressed will change as the focus of the various research projects changes. This course can be taken multiple times. Co-requisites: Participation in a research project, such as Undergraduate Research in Chemistry (CHY 226, CHY 326), an Independent Study research project, or permission of instructor. 1 Cr

3.00 Credits
A study of the molecules of living systems: amino acids and proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and lipids. Structure/function relationships are applied in a survey of metabolism, photosynthesis, biosynthesis, immunochemistry, clinical chemistry, nutrition, and molecular biology. The integrated laboratory provides basic biochemical techniques and application of concepts discussed in lecture. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 3 hours. Prerequisite: CHY 222 or equivalent. 4 Cr

4.00 Credits
This is the second course of a two-semester sequence, with integrated laboratory, designed to acquaint students with the molecules and reactions of living systems. The first half of the course will focus on metabolic processes, integration and regulation of metabolism, biosynthesis of carbohydrates, biosynthesis and biodegradation of lipids and nitrogenous compounds such as amino acids, nucleotides. The second half of the course will focus on current research in biochemistry, mostly at the cellular level, but also in the whole animal. Prerequisite: CHY 222 and CHY 322, or permission of instructor. BIO 222 and BIO 265 recommended. 4 Cr
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
The objective of this course is for the student to conduct an original research project under the supervision of a faculty member. The student will work in consultation with a research advisor to develop and undertake a research project in chemistry. A final written report is required. A grade of pass/fail is awarded. This course may be taken multiple times for credit. Prerequisite: CHY 102 and approval by a research advisor. 1-2 Cr

3.00 Credits
Community is one of the fundamental concepts and units of study in the social sciences. This course will be primarily concerned with communities of place within the United States, although many of the conceptual and methodological approaches discussed could be applied to other forms of community and communities in other places. The course will survey the development of community study as a scientific endeavor, the conceptual tools employed in the study of communities of place, and common methodologies used to study a community. Class sessions will involve lectures, student project work, media presentations, and perhaps guest lectures from accomplished community researchers. Readings will include excerpts from classic community studies, contemporary journal articles and/or a community study or community development text book, and an in-depth examination of a contemporary, empirical community study research project. Course assignments will involve reading and writing tasks and a hands-on project that will focus on the production of a local community profile. 3 Cr

3.00 Credits
This course provides the basics of video production, incorporating both lecture and laboratory experience. Students will learn about shot composition, sound, lighting, and editing, all from a digital video format. Students will produce and edit several projects from a variety of media formats, depending on the interests of the student. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing or permission of instructor. 3 Cr
-
3.00 Credits
Courses designed to allow students to pursue study in an area within Community Studies. Courses vary in response to student interest and demand. Prerequisite: Dependent upon course offered, or permission of instructor. 3 Cr

Soliya's Connect Program is a unique cross-cultural education program that enables college students in the US and predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East to collaboratively explore the relationship between the US and Muslim World with the aim of improving intercultural awareness and understanding. Participating students from across the globe literally see and hear one another in a rich and intimate online environment utilizing the latest in videoconferencing and online collaboration technology. Recognizing the profound role of media in shaping young adults' perceptions of other cultures, Soliya trains participating students to create and exchange video segments illustrating their perspectives on world events. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing and GPA of 3.0 or better or permission of instructor. 3 Cr

1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Activities are designed to enable students to further expand upon skills they began to develop through their participation in the initial Soliya Connect program. Participating students will only be working on one of the following projects at a time. They will be able to participate again in another project if chosen. Each program will involve a small number of US and Middle Eastern students communicating regularly through the videoconferencing application used for the Connect program. Currently the advanced projects include facilitation training, collaborative video project, and student leadership/developing cooperative actions, each led by highly skilled educators within each field. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing, GPA of 3.0 or better, C or better in CMY/HON 220, or permission of instructor. 1-3 Cr
