3.00 Credits
A study of current discoveries and applications of biology, with emphasis on student participation and written assignments. Critical thinking will be developed concerning the validity of popular reports and extraordinary claims. Ongoing discoveries in biology will be analyzed according to their contributions to the advancement of knowledge, their possible commercial, medical, or agricultural applications, and ethical issues that they may raise. Resources that will be utilized include current scientific literature, guest lectures, and the world wide web. Prerequisite(s): one semester of any 3 or 4 credit college biology (3,0) 3 credits Contingent on demand
-
3.00 Credits
Methods of greenhouse pest and disease control, including identification of major families of pests, diagnosis of diseases, principles of cultural and chemical control, and a survey of pests and diseases associated with economically important greenhouse crops. Prerequisite(s): BIO 198 (2,2) 3 credits Contingent on demand
-
3.00 Credits
This course investigates the principles of physiology in vertebrates with emphasis on mechanisms of integration and homeostasis at the cellular, organ and system level. It explores the comparative, experimental and evolutionary aspects of all vertebrate classes and surveys the impact of recent advances in cellular and molecular biology on this branch of the biological sciences. (3,0) 3 credits Contingent on demand
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
This laboratory course is an inquiry into the experimental methods and models for understanding vertebrate physiology. It will explore the comparative, experimental and evolutionary aspects of the mechanisms of integration and homeostasis among select vertebrate classes. Laboratory exercises incorporate computer software-based exercises with classic physiology experiments designed to illustrate both the basic concepts of physiology as well as the comparative nature of these events in a number of vertebrate species. Corequisite: BIO 294 (0,3) 1 credit Contingent on demand
-
4.00 Credits
This course will examine bioprocess fermentation methods and system designs that make use of microbial cells. Special conditions required for such biological materials as insect cell culture and plant tissue culture will also be surveyed. Procedures relating to sanitation, process safety, raw material documentation and maintenance, growth monitoring, harvesting, processing, and packaging will be included. Quality assurance methodology and regulatory requirements are cited in each aspect of this operation. Prerequisite(s): BIO 215 with a grade of C or better, CHM 152 with a grade of C or better Contingent on demand (3,3) 4 credits
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of microbiology and the role that microbes play in the natural environment. The morphological and biochemical characterization of bacterial species important as disease-causing agents and food-spoilage agents. Emphasis on the food and waterborne diseases and applied sanitary practices for their effective control. Antimicrobial methods including physical, chemical and antibiotic agents. Applied methods involving analytical procedures for air, water, soil, milk, dairy products and foods and the demonstration of the normal microflora found in these materials. Prerequisite(s): BIO 130 with a grade of C or better, BIO 131 with a grade of C or better and BIO 211 with a grade of C or better (3,3) 4 credits Spring
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to Current Good Laboratory Practice (cGLP), Current Good Clinical Practice (cGCP), and Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 21. These regulations apply to all aspects of testing, clinical trials, and manufacturing of biopharmaceutical products under the authority of the Food and Drug Administration. The course will examine the application of these regulations to the bioprocessing, pharmaceutical, neutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and allied industries. Prerequisite(s): BIO 215 with a grade of C or better (3,0) 3 credits Contingent on demand
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course in genetics for students majoring in biology and the health-related areas. Topics to be discussed include cytogenetics, immunogenetics, molecular genetics, population genetics and quantitative genetics. Computer simulations and demonstrations will present genetic principles. Prerequisite(s): BIO 130 with a C or better and one or more of the following: BIO 131 with a C or better or BIO 211 with a C or better or MLT 227 with a C or better (3,0) 3 credits Fall, Spring
-
