3.00 Credits
This course covers the Capstone project that will demonstrate and showcase the student's knowledge and skills developed over the course of the program. Students will develop a practical physical or virtual model, design concept or algorithm that is relevant to the build, design, or development of bicycles. Facility will assist students in their choice of projects and approve the selected project prior to kickoff. Students must adhere to a strict timeline and other Capstone guidelines. Students will be responsible for project management and presentation format. Students will present their project to facility, industry partners, and peers. Students will be judged on a number of scales predefined in the Capstone guidelines. (Prerequisite: 12 hours of BIKE credits) (3 Credits: 0 lecture/6 lab)
-
1.00 Credits
This course focuses on the levels of biological organization up to the cell. An emphasis will be placed on cell structure, metabolism, selective permeability, and molecular movement. (Prerequisite: none) (1 Credits: 1 lecture/0 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Environmental Science introduces the relationship between human populations and their surroundings through the use of course assignments, discussions, virtual labs and/or lab like experiences. Students explore core scientific concepts and the impact of past, present, and future human behavior on the environment. An emphasis is placed on how current practices, policies, and individual behavior impact both the local and global environment. (Meets MnTC goals 3 & 10) (Prerequisite: none) (3 Credits: 3 lecture/0 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Human Biology is a one-semester survey of general human function and interactions in a biological world. Cell and organ system functions are described in the context of normal health. The course introduces the study of human anatomy, physiology, development, and heredity. (MnTC Goal 3) (Prerequisite: none) (4 credits: 3 lecture/1 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to Biology will serve as an overview of the principles and theories that drive the study of biology. Students will be exposed to several different disciplines within biology, including but not limited to, molecular and cell biology, genetics, evolutionary biology, and ecology. An emphasis will be placed on relationships between biology and current issues of particular interest to students. (Meets MnTC Goals 3 & 10) (Prerequisite: none) (4 Credits: 3 lecture/1 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers basic principles of nutrition and their relationship to human health and normal biological function. Students are exposed to current trends in nutrition, behaviors typical of a positive nutritional lifestyle, and a lab like experience to evaluate their own nutritional status. Topics covered include an introduction to the nutrients, digestive function and metabolism, the role of physical activity, dietary standards, proper diet planning, and nutrition related diseases. (Meets MnTC Goals 2 & 3) (Prerequisite: none) (3 credits: 3 lecture/0 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the theory of agroecology and the current practices of sustainable agriculture. The components of farm management will be studied within the context of a complex ecosystem. Class time will be spent in lecture, lab, field studies and field trips to integrate concepts in agroecology, with actual practices in sustainable agriculture. (Prerequisite: none) (4 credits: 3 lecture/1 lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of Biology provides an introduction to biological concepts necessary for successful completion of typical college level biology courses. The course will provide an introduction to the scientific method, homeostasis, levels of biological organization, mechanisms of cellular transport, and basic metabolism. (Prerequisite: None) (3 Credits: 3 lecture/0 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to soil studies with focus on agricultural soils. Main emphasis of the course will be studying soil health as the balanced condition among soil chemical, physical and biological characteristics, to be achieved through sustainable soil management. Class time will be spent in lecture, lab exercises and field studies to foster learning about agricultural soils. (Prerequisite: CHEM 1010) (4 Credits: 3 lecture/1 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Human Anatomy and Physiology I introduces the structure and function of the human body with an emphasis on normal health. This course includes a review of cellular biology, cellular transport, cell reproduction and basic biochemistry. Topics covered include tissues, the integumentary system, skeletal system, articulations, muscular system, and nervous system. (MnTC Goals 2 & 3) (Prerequisite: Recent High School Biology or BIOL1001 or equivalent) (4 credits: 3 lecture/1 lab)
