  • SW 346: What is Science

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    What comes to mind when you think about science and technology Do they seem mysterious, incomprehensible and yet powerful Could science and the machines it creates both benefit some and harm others In the best sense, science is about asking questions and continually questioning itself. It is considered a systematic, precise, objective way to study the natural world. Yet if science attempts to be neutral and unbiased in its approach, its results historically leave us with a bitter irony. One example is nuclear energy, it gives us terrible power to destroy and creates extremely harmful radioactive waste yet thru modern medicine using nuclear equipment, also has saved many lives and eliminated suffering. Our daily lives are governed by scientific and technological systems run by experts. Foresters know how to plant trees, but not how to establish conditions under which villagers in developing countries can manage natural forests for themselves. Engineers know how to develop technologies that benefit industries, but not how to persuade factories from polluting. How much do we really know about the definition of science and its influence on our culture Did pre-farming cultures use science as a way of understanding their role in the world or is science a phenomenon of modern cultures In this course, students will examine through critical thinking the nature and history of science and its effects on the future. Students will also address issues in conflicting global views of the use and abuse of technology and developing methods of sharing, controlling, and monitoring our scientific output.

  • SW 347: Environmental Ethics

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    For thousands of years humans, from the time they were able to make the first tools to the production of nuclear technologies, have changed and in many cases radically altered their environment. Their perceptions (values and culture) with respect to the human relationship (and or responsibility) to the environmental spaces in which they lived and or the global commons (like space and the oceans) for the benefit of their current or future society has been critical in influencing the way in which the integrity of the environment and global commons has been impacted. This course will provide a survey of various environmental ethics that have emerged during human history among Western and non-Western cultures; and how these divergent environmental ethics have shaped and influenced not only planetary but space ecosystems. This course will also examine the consequences of environmental ethics on past current and future human societies from economic, political, social and environmental health perspectives. This course is an excellent elective for business, education, religion, sociology/anthropology and science/engineering focus area who seek to understand the foundations and ramifications of human ethics, values and culture on decisions and policies which impact the global environment (or ecosystems). Competencies: A3C, A4, S3C, S4, FX. Faculty: Sylvia Hood Washington, MSE, Ph.D., ND

  • SW 348: Nature Writing

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Observation is the beginning of science. It is also the beginning of the process of writing. This class is designed to encourage you to observe the natural world and to write clearly about it. Thus you will be simultaneously strengthening your observational skills and your expressive skills. You will observe a single natural setting over the course of a quarter, writing short prose pieces that follow specific guidelines. Some of these pieces will be posted on the class website for those outside the class to read, thus providing you with an experience of online publication. Basic skills in grammar and punctuation are assumed; although it is not a prerequisite, you will find it helpful to have completed College Writing before you start this class. Competences: A2A, A2X, S1A, six, S4. Faculty: Patricia Monaghan.

  • SW 349: Relationships Plant/ Human Life

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    The purpose of this course is to increase student's awareness and understanding of plant structure, function and diversity, and to help students discover past, current and potential future uses of plants. This course uses Ethnobotany to help students understand how the scientific process leads to new understandings about how our world works and how it can aid us in understanding ways we use science in our lives. Specific learning objectives of the course are to understand and appreciate: (1) plant structure and function and the relationship between the two, (2) plant adaptations and how these adaptations affect the distribution and abundance of plants in nature, (3) the diversity of plants and the ways in which botanists group plants, (4) the way that science contributes to our understandings of how the world works and informs our decisions of how we want our society to be. Note: This course is also being offered to traditional-age Barat students. Dr. Berchiolli is an experienced SNL instructor who uses methods of instruction most conducive to adult students. SNL students will attend the first five weeks only. Competencies: S1A, S2C, S3C. Faculty: Barbara Berchiolli

  • SW 352: Tech, Training/ Human Performnce

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    What Robinson & Robinson describe as "the shift from providing training to improving performance" has been cited as a top priority in our fast-paced, global economy. This course covers the principles of training and human performance through an analysis of real case studies in a number of work environments. The course will also present the necessary technology and instructional design tools so that students can design their own training program and develop a basic training and performance plan that reflects their own work environments. I will presume that students enrolling in the course have basic computer skills, including the ability to use and save work with Microsoft Word. Competencies: H-2-X, S-1-D, S-3-X, F-X.
