3.00 Credits
The first course in a one-year sequence covering fundamental principles and concepts, including stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, bonding, periodicity, gases and thermochemistry. Previous chemistry recommended. For students who plan to take further chemistry courses. Knowledge of algebra, exponentials and logarithms expected. Three-hour lecture, two-hour lab. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of earth's systems (geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere) and their interactions. Includes a survey of earth materials, internal and external processes, global cycles (carbon, water), and feedback loops between humans and earth's systems. Environmental and resource issues are addressed. Includes an integrated laboratory component. Fall, Spring, Summer.
-
3.00 Credits
An overview of the earth. Includes description and origin of minerals and rocks, internal and external processes and recognition of landforms they produce, global cycles (carbon, water), and feedback loops between humans and earth's systems. Environmental and resource issues are addressed. Three-hour lecture, two-hour lab. Required field trips. Fall, Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
A course focusing on the cause and effect of geologic processes that impact society. Content may vary, but includes earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanic activity, resource issues, and the geologic record of climate change. Students are expected to closely monitor popular media to document current geologic events and their effects. Prerequisite: 24 credits in ISP, including ITW 101, IQL 101, and one course from the IS category. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the atmosphere followed by discussion of solar influence, temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, and forces. Weather patterns, severe weather, and hurricanes are emphasized. World climates and classifications are treated, ending with past and future climates. Exercises such as map reading are conducted throughout the course. Fall, Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to physics using a hands-on inquiry approach in which the student becomes the scientist with the goal of understanding the basic concepts of physics. Topics include mechanics, energy, sound, light, heat, electricity, and modern physics. Emphasizes development of a scientific worldview and includes quantitative reasoning. Fall, Spring.
-
2.00 Credits
Algebra-based introduction to Newtonian mechanics. Emphasis on conceptual understanding and problem-solving: motion, forces, Newton's laws applied to both linear and rotational situations, momentum, energy, and conservation laws. Knowledge of algebra and trigonometry are expected. A math competency assessment is administered. Includes two-hour laboratory. Fall, Spring.
-
2.00 Credits
The first semester of a two-semester calculus-based sequence for science and technology majors. Emphasized are kinematics, forces, both static and dynamic, energy and momentum, gravitation and fluids, thermal physics, and thermodynamics. Includes a two-hour laboratory. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to quantitative reasoning skills and habits of mind to understand and apply quantitative information to their lives. Students will investigate questions or problems and analyze data using descriptive statistics. Students will create written reports and orally present the results of their investigations. Fall, Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to anthropological knowledge and understanding of human cultures and societies. Cross-cultural comparison and review of tribal and industrialized societies. Application of anthropological concepts to provide understanding of other cultures and one's own culture. Fall, Spring.
