  • SC 131: Environmental Physics

    3.00 Credits
    Fulton-Montgomery Community College

    A course centered around the contemporary problems-energy, pollution, and depletion of natural resources-of our physical environment. It analyzes different forms of energy, energy conservation principles, our energy resources, methods of energy conversions and their byproducts, first and second laws of thermodynamics, and efficiency of current energy usage - thermal pollution, air pollution, solid waste, noise pollution, nuclear radiation pollution, and their effects on man and the environment. It explores the potential for more efficient use of our natural resources. The course studies energy sources of the future-breeder reactor, fusionreactor, solar energy, geothermal energy, magneto-hydrodynamics, fuel cells and energy from wastes. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 2. General Education: N.

  • SC 137: Human Biology FA

    3.00 Credits
    Fulton-Montgomery Community College

    This course in Human Biology focuses on how the systems of the human body operate and how various illnesses interfere with that operation. Lectures cover organ systems from a functional aspect, then diseases from a malfunctional perspective, with special attention given to the connection between malfunctions and symptoms. The course also covers how treatment for disease is related (or not) to system malfunction. Laboratories cover simple internal anatomy, disease causing organisms, simple diagnostics, and such topics as medical ethics and epidemiology. Laboratory approaches vary from hands-on dissection to group discussion. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 3. General Education: N.
