-
3.00 - 15.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of the department chairperson of aviation science; formal application required The internship is an instructive endeavor in the aviation industry or an aviation related business, which complements the academic program. The student will receive meaningful and practical work experience conducted at an airline, a Fixed Base Operation (FBO), the FAA, an aviation consulting firm or other aviation related firms. This course may be repeated for a maximum of 15 credits. Either semester.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Junior status and consent of the department; formal application required Directed study is open to junior and senior majors who have demonstrated critical and analytical abilities in their studies and who wish to pursue a project independently. This course may be taken twice for a maximum of six credits. Either semester.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Designed for secondary education science teachers, this course is composed of three one credit “short courses.” Short course topics will vary and will also serve the continuing needs of teachers for professional development. Possible topics could include whales of Massachusetts, isolation of plasmids, fungal genetics, spring migratory birds, freshwater macroinvertebrates of local ponds and streams, New England wetland plants, intertidal invertebrates, New England wildflowers, etc. This course may be repeated for different topics.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Designed for secondary education science teachers, this course will consist of a seminar covering a selected area of biology related to the curriculum frameworks and teaching in the schools. The seminar could cover one topic or several related topics in three-five week blocks per topic and could be team-taught. Some topics may be team-taught by a biology faculty member and a K-12 master teacher with appropriate background and qualifications, such as a PALMS science specialist. This course may be repeated for different topics.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This graduate-level course designed for secondary education science teachers will cover subject areas of cell and molecular biology. Possible subject area components could include molecular biology, techniques of molecular biology, microbiology, embryology, cytology, biological electron microscopy, the foundations of biology, biology of the fungi, virology, human genetics, advanced cellular biology and advanced developmental biology. This course may be repeated for different topics. Laboratory may be included.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This graduate-level course designed for secondary education science teachers will cover subject areas of biomedical and physiological biology. Possible subject area components could include embryology, parasitology, neurobiology and advanced physiology. This course may be repeated for different topics. Laboratory may be included.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Designed for secondary education science teachers, this course will cover subject areas in ecological and environmental biology. This course may be repeated for different topics. Laboratory may be included.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course is designed to accommodate one-credit modules, three-credit courses and workshops and institutes with variable credit in selected areas of middle school (grades 6-8) level life science as determined by the requirements of the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework in Science and Technology/Engineering. Possible topics include classification of organisms, structure and function of cells, systems in living things, reproduction and heredity, evolution and biodiversity, living things and their environment, energy and living things and changes to ecosystems over time. Specific content will be developed to meet the assessed needs of teachers and the school districts. This course is designed to accommodate topics of teacher professional development under grant supported projects and school district supported projects as well as occasional credit offerings for middle school-level in-service and pre-service teachers. This course is repeatable for different topics.
-
4.00 Credits
The biological principles at the cellular and organismal levels are discussed. The topics covered include cell structure, respiration, photosynthesis, osmosis, enzymes, DNA and protein synthesis, genetics, ecology and evolution. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory period weekly. Offered every semester. (CNSL)
-
4.00 Credits
This course considers the zoological aspects of biology with emphasis on human systems. Topics include the chemical basis of life, the structure and physiology of cells, tissues, organs and organ-systems, embryonic development, heredity, evolution and ecology. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory period weekly. Offered every semester. (CNSL)
