This course explores the question of whether or not life exists elsewhere in the Universe. An interdisciplinary approach will be taken using concepts from astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology to explore the likelihood of life developing beyond Earth. In addition, the course will focus on recent/current developments concerning space expeditions designed to seek out possible forms of life on other worlds in our solar system. Sociological and philosophical viewpoints on the topic of life forming in other parts of the Universe will be discussed. Students will be expected to perform elementary mathematics, think critically, acquire and interpret data, present original thoughts/opinions in both oral and written form. The scientific method will be the cornerstone of the course's endeavors to demonstrate how to use scientifically established facts as the basis for the search for life beyond Earth (3 hrs. lecture, 2 hrs. lab). Offered on: E - A / 4 cr. hrs.
