1.00 Credits
An investigation of the stages of development of the chick, fetal pig, and human. Concepts of meiosis, implantation, gastrulation, and organogenesis will be developed. Lab three hours per week. To be taken concurrently with BIO 370.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure, function and regulation of genes and gene products are discussed extensively using both eucaryotic and procaryotic systems. Cell structural/functional relationships are stressed. Special emphasis is placed on biotechnology as it is employed in understanding cell structure and regulation of cellular physiology. Lecture three hours per week. Prerequisite or concurrent enrollment in BIO 110/111, 250/251, 266/267 or departmental approval.
-
1.00 Credits
Application of basic methods and techniques of biotechnology. Gene cloning, identification, and mutagenesis techniques are emphasized. Methods employed are southern blots, northern blots, western blots, DNA isolation, RNA isolation, plasmid and viral cloning vectors, and chromatography. Lab three hours per week. Concurrent enrollment in BIO 390, or departmental approval.
-
3.00 Credits
The basic principles of toxicology covered will include measuring toxicity and assessing risk, how toxins are absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted by the human body, carcinogenesis and teratogenesis, response of different organ system to toxins, ecological and environmental issues. Specific toxins or classes of toxins will be covered as appropriate for each topic. A list of specific toxins that might be discussed includes but is not limited to heavy metals, benzene, pesticides, nitrates, tetrodotoxin, mustard gas, nerve gases, venoms, ricin or other compounds that appear in the news. Lecture three hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO100/101 or BIO110/111.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An overview of selected readings in biology and/or medicine designed to give the student a general knowledge of the topics at the level of present day research. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will examine advanced topics and lab techniques used in forensic science. Topics will include study of human and skeletal remains, facial reconstruction, forensic entomology and botany, hair and fiber analysis, fingerprinting, toxicology and DNA analysis & profiling. Students will cap the course off by giving oral and poster presentations on a real forensic case they researched. Lecture three hours and Lab three hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 265.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Under the guidance of a faculty mentor , the student designs an independent project to be completed before graduation. The final report must be written in scientific style as a thesis and approved by two faculty members. A seminar presentation of the student’s project at Scholar’s Day and possibly the Nebraska Academy of Sciences is required before graduation. Prerequisite: departmental approval.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
An independent project enabling a student to gain some expertise in an area of interest. Prerequisite: permission of the program director.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in the theory and use of computers. Students will learn how hardware, software, and people work together in an information society. Students with minimal skills will learn to enhance their personal productivity and problem solving skills by applying information technologies to problem situations and by designing and using small information systems for individuals and groups. This prerequisite course enables students to improve their skills as knowledge workers. The emphasis is on personal productivity concepts using functions and features in computer software such as spreadsheets, presentation graphics, and word processing. Topics explored will include the difference between system software and application software, computer files and data storage, computer architecture, local area networks, and the Internet. Labs, both in class and self-directed, provide hands-on experience with the Internet, word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications. Computer lab work outside of class is required. Prerequisite: None.
