3.00 Credits
The content of this course is to provide the principles of ionizing radiation and it's effects on the human body. Chronic and acute effects of radiation effecting biological response will be presented. The principles of radiation protection to the radiographer, the patient, other personnel and the general public will be discussed. Focus will be on radiographic protection procedures, radiographic features in equipment, and the requirements of regulatory agencies on radiation health and safety. Hours of class per week. 3.

3.00 Credits
The biological roles of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals; digestion, absorption, and storage of nutrients, the chemical nature of foods and food processing; assessment of nutritional status; interactions of nutrients and disease; food supplementation and community nutrition. Does not satisfy the FMCC lab science graduation requirement. Hours of class per week: 3.

3.00 Credits
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.

3.00 Credits
This course is designed for people with no or minimal background in biology. It prepares students to take upper-level biology courses such as BI 171, 172, 173, and 282. The course stresses the human relevance and social implications of biology. It discusses modern scientific developments, as well as cellular anatomy, physiology and energetics in genetic and ecological perspectives. Laboratory investigations apply concepts presented in lecture. The course integrates observation, interpretation, and library research by means of written laboratory reports and investigation into scientific literature. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 3. General Education: N.

3.00 Credits
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.
-
3.00 Credits
A phylogenetic approach to plant and animal groups, both living and extinct, using representative fossils and live specimens when available. An understanding of the interrelationships between and among plant and animal species is complemented by topics from comparative anatomy and physiology. The course integrates observation, interpretation and library research by means of written laboratory reports and investigation into scientific literature. Included are dissections and microanatomy of representative invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants, field collection, identification, and study of plants and animals of biologic interest. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 3. General Education: N.
-
3.00 Credits
A perspective on the Earth that emphasizes the structure, dynamics, and resources of the planet, and examines man's use and misuse of finite resources. Major topics include rocks, minerals, and mining soils from a geologic perspective; surface and underground waters - their movement, origins, use and abuse; the atmosphere and its pollution; natural geological hazards such as landslides, earthquakes and faults; geothermal, tidal and other sources of energy; landforms and land use; wastes and their treatment; environmental action and the future. Labs include practical identification of minerals and rocks; topographic maps. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 2. General Education: N.
-
3.00 Credits
A look at the earth's history, ancient environments, and the fossil record. The dimension of time is a unifying theme that links the history and present state of the oceans; the fossil fuels - earth's savings bank; landscapes and their "evolution," fossilization and the "endangered species" of the past; the evolution and fossil record of invertebrates and fishes; the dinosaurs - when giants walked the earth; mammals, man and glaciers; the geological history of New York State and the Northeast. Labs include detailed study of the fossil record and nearby sedimentary rock seque nces. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 2. General Education
-
3.00 Credits
The course will explore the underlying processes behind all major geologic hazards such as volcanoes, landslides, earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes and their impact on humanity. In depth coverage will be given to tsunamis, meteorite impacts and subsidence. The distribution and human consumption of our natural resources will be discussed. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 2. General Education: N.
-
3.00 Credits
Geology of the Mohawk Valley will teach the basic principles of geology using local examples to illustrate. Topics of the course will include rocks and minerals, structures, sedimentation, erosion, glaciation and glacial geomorphology. Fossils of the Paleozoic and Cenozoic eras will be looked at. The course will make extensive use of field trips to teach both basic principles and unique geologic attractions. Hours of class per week: 2. Hours of lab per week: 2.
