-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 (3-2) Prerequisite(s): MAT 013 or appropriate score on the college placement test An introduction to meteorology, providing an overview of the atmosphere, temperature, measurements and energy balance, as it pertains to air masses, clouds, precipitation, wind, storms and fronts. A series of physical principles will be used to illustrate the dynamics of the atmosphere, including force, density, methods of heat transfer and radiation. Weather predictions and forecasting instrumentation are integral parts of the course, including Internet sources and weather satellite transmissions.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 (3-2) Prerequisite(s): One year of high school laboratory science, MAT 014 or appropriate score on the college placement test To provide an overview or introduction to descriptive space science covering the historical development of astronomy and planetology. Basic physical laws are introduced to help explain the tools used in the investigation of solar systems. Appropriate laboratory experience is provided.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 (2-2) A general introduction to physical science through an investigation of natural laws. Topics to be covered include Newton's laws of motion, the law of universal gravitation, gas laws, methods of heat transfer, and electricity and magnetism. Chemistry concepts and natural laws pertaining to astronomy, geology and meteorology will also be covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 (2-2) Prerequisite(s): MAT 013, MAT 013B or appropriate score on the college placement test This course is an introductory course in which scientific principles will be applied to the methods used to investigate and solve crimes. The course will focus on the principles and methods utilized in the traditional sciences of biology, chemistry and physics. The scientific techniques used to collect and analyze evidence will be covered.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 (3-2) Prerequisite(s): One year of high school chemistry or CHM 010 This course represents an elementary review of selected fundamentals of chemistry and physics that are most relevant to fire. The course will cover the fire characteristics of materials, the properties of combustion products, fire extinguishing agents and procedures and movement of smoke.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 (3-2) This course introduces students to environmental geology. The focus is on the relationship between human society and the earth's five systems: water, ice, air, the solid earth and life. The course provides an understanding of the geologic mechanism and prediction of such natural hazards as earthquakes, volcanism, coastal and riverine floods, landslides, desertification, glaciation and global warming. The course discusses complex problems that arise from the human impact on the geological processes and how that can lead to tragic consequences. The stress of overpopulation, energy resource limitations, groundwater contamination, alternative energy sources, as well as the basic concepts of environmental geology management will be covered. The laboratory component includes an introduction to geologic methods of identification, groundwater contamination, exercises on water table problems (construction of water table profiles), exercises on geological and tectonic maps to study the most active (tectonically and volcanically) world regions and the study of rocks and minerals as mineral resources.
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 1 (0-2) Students will learn FDA regulations specific to the biotechnology industry. Topics will include the historical perspectives of the regulations, quality control concepts, case studies and example of FDA enforcement.
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 1 (0-2) Students will explore recent advances in technology which affect job opportunities. An overview of the lab technology field is given through site visits and guest speakers. Students will gain insights on how to write a resume and search and interview for a job.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 (3-2) Prerequisite(s): MAT 013 or appropriate score on the college placement test and one year of high school laboratory science. Students should not register for both SCI 206 and SCI 220. An overview of the fundamental principles of the physical and biological sciences as they relate to the field of forensic science. This course focuses on the role of the forensic scientist in criminal investigations. Scientific principles of crime scene investigation, including the chemistry of blood, physics of blood splatter, DNA and firearms identification will be covered. Laboratory analysis will include microscopy, atomic absorption and chromatography.
-
