3.00 Credits
An introduction to ocean science, designed to familiarize students with basic oceanographic principles and current issues concerning humans' relation with the ocean. Topics include: physical characteristics of the ocean (light, salinity, density, temperature), waves, tides and currents; the ocean floor; ocean zones; types and classification of marine life; effects of the environment on marine life, marine ecology; marine resources (biological and physical); ocean pollution and its effects on marine life; marine law; and nautical charts. (Formerly ECOL 110.)

We will focus on the questioning of ideas, inquiry into modern philosophical problems, and appreciation for the wonder of the mind, thinking process, and the 'critical' eye. Areas of thought to be studied include knowledge and reality, religious belief, morality, social philosophy, and personal philosophy. 'Doing' philosophy is emphasized. An historical view of changing concepts, and thoughtful consideration of our own time, place, and multi-cultured society. (Formerly PHIL M101.)

Such fundamental issues as social morality and individual rights, justice, and the nature of the good life are explored through historical and contemporary writings. Areas of study include multiculturalism in our democracy, and ethical issues in business, medicine, and media. The ends sought for every student are a stronger sense of consistency between intention and behavior, and growing skills of critical analysis. (Formerly PHIL 110: Social Ethics.)

-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to physics, including selected topics from mechanics, heat, electricity and light, and modern physics. (3 hours lecture/3 hours lab.) (Formerly PHYS 110: Elements of Physics.) Prerequisite: MAT* 095 with a grade of "C" or better. NOTE: Physics 121-122 is a two-semester, algebra-based general course. Physics 121-122 has been particularly useful to students in the health service professions allied to medicine. The laboratory offers fundamental training in exact measurements.
-
4.00 Credits
Basic concepts of mechanics and thermodynamics. (3 hours lecture/3 hours lab.) Prerequisite: MAT* 137 with a grade of "C" or better, or two years of high school algebra, or math assessment test.
