Students acquire an introductory-level understanding of the principles and practices of geographic information systems (GIS), both as an interactive spatial database and as a powerful analytical tool. Students learn the theory of mapping and spatial data analysis as well as learn to use GIS software through exercises and projects. (2 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
-
3.00 Credits
Research in the Life and Physical Sciences offers students the opportunity to work with other students interested in science disciplines. Students will develop individual projects within their discipline, and with fellow students, exchange ideas and develop an appreciation for the commonality between scientific disciplines and the role of science in society. Students will be expected to make a public presentation of their work. Prerequisite: Successful completion of at least 30 credit hours. (3 hrs lec)
-
1.00 Credits
Students have the opportunity to design biological experiments and to organize, analyze, and interpret data. Students write a scientific paper and orally present their results to both peers and faculty. Capstone Course Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 and successful completion of at least 30 credit hours. (3 hr lec)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of ecosystems, energy flows, habitats, natural cycles, environmental influences, succession, population, and speciation. Prerequisite: Complete BIOL 1010 with a minimum grade "C". Completion of BIOL 2020 and/or BIOL 2023 with a "C" or better is recommended. (3 hrs lec)
-
1.00 Credits
A lecture/applied lab course giving students the opportunity to investigate natural communities and actively participate in study and analysis of water, soil, climate, and organisms associated with characteristic habitats. Students also gain skills in experimental design, critical thinking, and scientific writing. The primary purpose of this course is to give the student practical experience in the methodologies of field investigation and laboratory techniques used in Ecology. Emphasis is placed on techniques used to sample and analyze patterns in both plant and animal studies as well as other communities. Students will also gain skills in experimental design, critical thinking, and scientific writing. Lecture and Field/Lab course. Prequisite: BIOL 2400 or concurrent enrollment. (2 hrs lec/lab)
-
1.00 Credits
Students will learn about natural communities across select ecosystems through hands-on experiences. Students will study and learn natural history observational skills, ecological measurement techniques, and accurate methods of data collection, analysis, and writing upon a foundation of scientific literture, policy, and history in association with the specific ecosystem, whether domestic or international. Both Scientific Method and Systems Biology methods will be emaphasized. (3 hrs lec, 2 hrs lab)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Introduces various methodologies employed in biologic research. Includes literature searches, data collection and analysis, and research report writing. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor. (2-6 hrs lab)
