-
1.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: MTH 215, or MTH 216A & 216B) Non-calculus based general physics. Study of onedimensional and two-dimensional kinematics, dynamics, statics, work, energy, linear momentum, circular motion and gravitation, fluid statics. Intended for science majors.
-
2.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: SCI 171) Non-calculus based general physics. Study of temperature, kinetic theory, gas laws, heat, oscillatory motion and waves, electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic waves, optics, special relativity atomic physics, radioactivity and nuclear physics. Intended for science majors.
-
4.50 Credits
(Recommended: prior completion of SCI 100 and 100A, SCI 101 and 101A, or equivalent courses.) Areas of study include cells, tissues, organ systems (integumentary, endocrine, cardiovascular, urinary and digestive), and their functional relation to each other. Topics also include the aging process and diseases in these systems, as well as the effects of genetics, diet, lifestyle, and the environment.
-
1.50 Credits
(1.5 quarter units) (Prerequisite: SCI 201) This laboratory course examines organ systems, digestion, energy requirements, and the operation of enzymes. Students conduct fetal pig dissections to understand mammalian anatomy, in particular, the cardiovascular and urogenital systems.
-
4.50 Credits
(Recommended: prior completion of SCI 201 and 201A, SCI 100 and 100A, SCI 101 and 101A, or equivalent courses.) Organ systems (skeletal, muscular, nervous, lymphatic, respiratory and reproductive), and their functional relation to each other. Topics also include the aging process and diseases in these systems, as well as the effects of genetics, diet, lifestyle, and the environment.
-
1.50 Credits
(1.5 quarter units) (Prerequisite: SCI 202) This laboratory course examines homeostasis in the lungs, liver and kidneys, along with bones, muscles, nervous system (including brains), chromosomes, mitosis, meiosis, development and different types of inheritance through the testing of vision, hearing and taste and smell.
-
4.50 Credits
(Recommended: prior completion of SCI 201 and 201A, SCI 202 and 202A, SCI 100 and 100A, SCI 101 and 101A, or equivalent courses.) Biology of pathogenic and nonpathogenic microbes, including bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and viruses. The epidemiology of disease-causing agents is studied, along with the fundamentals of the human immune response.
-
1.50 Credits
(Prerequisite: SCI 203) This laboratory course introduced students to procedures for handling microbes, methods of identification of microorganisms (microscopic and by diagnostic media), preparation of stained slides and wet mounts, aseptic techniques, isolation of a single colony, preparation of a pure culture, inoculation and interpretation of select diagnostic tests. This two-month course is a combination of lecture and laboratory activities.
-
4.50 Credits
A study of food, fiber, forage, fuel and drug crops of major economic significance. Emphasizes ethnobotany, including basic principles of botany, geographic distribution, commercial value and marketable products.
-
4.50 Credits
(Prerequisites: SCI 100, SCI 100A, SCI 101, SCI 101A or 120A) The structure, function, and diversity of microbes are explored, including viruses, bacteria, protozoans, algae, and fungi. The growth of microbial cultures, and their control, are studied. Principles of microscopy, identification of microbes, taxonomy, toxicology, and field sampling are covered. Concepts in applied and industrial microbiology are included.
