3.00 Credits
The course examines what the universe is made of, how and when it began, and how it is changing. Class offers information about the different methods scientists use in the ongoing research of the Big Bang model and the mysteries of black holes, quasars, dark matter, and dark energy. Students are required to create an art project that relates to any aspect of the course. 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
Course examines the basic concepts of Einstein's science, humanity, and philosophy and his views on religion, politics, and the arms race. Course studies his theories, which inspired the invention of such modern technology as lasers, nuclear energy, photoelectricity, and concepts such as curved space. Course provides students with a better understanding of the universe. 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
This course is designed for non-scientists (with little or no background in physics and mathematics) with emphasis on the paradoxes and beauty of quantum physics. Students will learn basic ideas about quantum duality, wave functions, uncertainty principle, teleportation, theory of relativity, elementary particles, and cosmology. 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
Students study the physics of common musical instruments and discover the mathematical foundation of musical scales. This course explores mechanical oscillation, wave motion, the concept of pitch, and the harmonic series. Students investigate the complex timbre of musical instruments through hands-on laboratory experiments using waves and spectrum analysis, and develop scales with sound generation software. For a final project, students construct functional musical instruments and perform an original music composition. 3 CRED ITS PREREQUISITES: 56-1820 SCIENCE OF ELECTRONICS OR PLACEMENT OR 56-2710 COLLEGE ALGEBRA

3.00 Credits
This course examines well-known epidemics. Classes of pathogens, modes of transmission, pathology of illness, and the immune response are investigated. Each epidemic is discussed through the lens of the public health response and the impact of concurrent scientific breakthroughs. This class considers the nature and challenges of contemporary global diseases and the responses of the public health, medical, and philanthropic communities. The course assesses how colonialism and globalization help spread disease and the co-evolution of infectious agents and humans. It is recommended that students have a strong background of biology from high school or have taken a previous biology course in college (e.g. Biology the Living World, Microbiology, Brave New World of Medicine). 3 CRED ITS

3.00 Credits
Course is a survey of the basic fundamentals of genetics and their application to contemporary issues. Major topics include DNA structure and replication, the chromosomal basis of inheritance, protein synthesis, and genetic engineering. Special topics may include human development, cloning, stem cell research, DNA fingerprinting, genetic basis of disease, agricultural crop breeding, reproductive technologies, and the conservation of genetic diversity in nature. 3 CRED ITS
