    This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the major research techniques that are employed by social science researchers. The first half of the course focuses on the logic of research and research design and the procedures used for research design. The second half of the course deals more specifically with a variety of particular techniques used for gathering data. Students will be expected to apply each of the techniques covered in the course though a series of small exercises throughout the quarter. Students will write a research paper based on some of their findings.

    SSCI 293 is an individual, student-structured course that examines a selected topic in the social sciences through intensive reading or research. The independent study elective permits a student to pursue his/her interests within the context of a faculty-guided program.
  • 1.00 - 5.00 Credits

    SSCI 299 allows students to examine, in detail, selected topics of interest in the social sciences.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits Principles of asepsis and the patient care concepts of positioning, prepping, draping, and procedural techniques are directly applied to the investigation of General (GEN), Gastrointestinal (GI), Obstetrics (OB), Gynecological (GYN), and Genitourinary (GU) surgical services. The role and responsibilities of the surgical technologist as the “scrub” member and the “circulator” member of the surgical team will focus on maintaining the integrity, safety, and efficiency of the sterile and nonsterile areas throughout various surgical procedures. Investigation of instrumentation, sutures, needles, dressings, packings, drainage tubes/systems, and auto-stapling devices will continue along with a focus on endoscopy use in GEN, GI, OB, GYN, and GU surgical services. Students will be exposed to lecture, discussion, seminar, and recitation educational experiences all in support of direct patient care laboratory, practicum, and clinical applications in a variety of hospital-based surgery units. Lecture: 3 hours Prerequisite: SURG 112, SURG 152 Corequisite: SURG 154 Lab fee: $25.00
