3.00 Credits
Course focuses on natural and synthetic textiles, their chemistry, properties, and applications. Paper and dye chemistry is extensively covered. Dye synthesis and interaction of fibers with vat, reactive, acidic, basic, azoic, and mordant dyes are also investigated. Special emphasis is placed on the extraction of natural dyes from plants. 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
Course deals with atoms and molecules and how they create color or light and reflect and absorb light (dyes and pigments). Topics include additive and subtractive color mixing; interference, or iridescence, which is demonstrated through niobium anodizing; history and chemistry of pigments; and various paint media, including encaustic (or wax), egg tempura, linseed oil, gouache (or gum Arabic), fresco, calcium compounds, and oriental lacquers. The chemical reactions that set these paints are discussed. 4 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
Chemical processes behind all major photographic methods are explored in this course. These processes include: daguerreotypes, black-and-white, color, non-silver, image making using alternative materials such as gum dichromate, holography, and xerography. Science of additive and subtractive color mixing is also explored. Laboratory experimentation constitutes significant part of course. 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
This laboratory course provides practical knowledge of the ever expanding use and development of materials in today's world. Material Science Technology is a multidisciplinary approach to science and technology that teaches students to better understand the properties and uses of materials. It combines scientific theories, practical applications and technology, and actual hands-on experiences to prepare students to work in a technologically rich environment. 4 CRED ITS
-
3.00 Credits
A multi-disciplinary approach to the contemporary issues of science and the law provides the student with the general knowledge and ability to understand applications of science in society. Students study basic principles of scientific investigation and the application of sciences to evidence and law. A significant part of the course includes hands-on laboratories; evaluation of DNA evidence; and projects where students incorporate their interests and majors with what they learned in the course. 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
This course examines the basic scientific principles governing Earth and its operation. Through numerous hands-on activities, students study earth materials and how they form, surface processes and how they shape the land, and internal processes and how they lead to earthquakes, volcanic activity, and even movement of whole continents. Topics also include geologic time, the history of Earth and life on it, climate and climate change, and the impact of human activities on Earth. 4 CRED ITS
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the idea of global environmental change and the mechanisms by which global change occurs. We will use an approach combining Earth history with modern Earth processes (Earth systems) to understand changes in the physical environment like plate movement and climate change, and changes in the biological environment like evolution and extinction. Finally, we will analyze some of the relationships between physical and biological changes on Earth (physical mechanisms for extinction, biological inputs to climate change, and others). 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
Both geologic and climatic natural disasters are explored in this course. Central focus is on causes and effects of disasters, particularly on the results of human attempts to prepare for these disasters. Topics include meteorite impacts, volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, floods, and the effects of floods on human and animal life. 3 CRED ITS
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the dynamics of the atmosphere and the methods of forecasting weather. Topics include theories of Earth's climate, effects of pollution on the weather, applications to marine and aviation agencies, and careers in meteorology. Activities include graphing, weather forecasting, and maintenance of a weather log. 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
Vertebrates have been around for more than 500 million years and are one of the most successful groups of organisms inhabiting the Earth today. This course explores the fossil evidence for the evolution and diversification of vertebrates, including fishes, crocodiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals. How vertebrate evolution is conveyed in scientific and popular literature, the arts, and museum exhibits will be examined in the context of the science and methods behind how fossils are discovered, collected, analyzed, reported, and displayed. 3 CRED ITS
