  • CORE 101: Science, Technology and Society

    4.00 Credits
    Roger Williams University

    Students must register for lecture and lab.In all other cases, students must complete the Core science coursedescribed below.This interdisciplinary course explores the most significant ideas ofphysics, chemistry, geology and biology in an attempt to answer thequestions: How does order emerge in nature? How does the humanspecies fit into this natural order? In the laboratory, students learnhands-on to apply concepts such as Newton's laws of motion, thelaws of thermodynamics, the wave nature of light, photosynthesisand the carbon cycle, food chains and ecosystems, natural selectionand evolution. Using these concepts, we can critically examine keyissues affecting our world today, such as global warming and geneticengineering. Discussion of these issues will shed light on the threeCore questions: Who am I? What can I know? Given what I know,how should I act?
