3.00 Credits
3Credits (3,0) This course concentrates on the central concepts of the four physical sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science and Astronomy. A conceptual approach is taken using equations to demonstrate the connection between theory and practical concepts rather than being used as a number-crunching tool. Qualitative or conceptual exercises will be emphasized over math-based quantitative problems to il lustrate these concepts. Students will be able to appreciate and differentiate between major scientific ideas rather than reducing them to algebraic problem-solving tools.
-
4.00 Credits
4Credits (3,3) College Physics I studies the structure and properties of matter, kinetics, dynamics, statics, energy, momentum, rotation and wave phenomena. The topics of college physics are presented in a traditional sequence through both lecture and laboratory experiences, while introducing "modern physics" early and frequently to demonstrate that physics is a relevant expanding science for students planning a career in medicine, dentistry, research, teaching and other technical professional fields.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits (3,3) This course is a continuation of SC 133, including the study of simple harmonic motion, solids, fluids, electricity, magnetism and optics. As with SC 133, the topics are presented in a traditional sequence through both lecture and laboratory experiences. Prerequisite: SC 133 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits (3,2) This course studies the fundamental laws and properties of electricity and electrical circuitry and the application of Ohm's and Kirchoff's laws to D.C. circuits. Laboratory experiments are used in the analysis of D.C, A.C., and solid state fundamentals.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits (3,2) This course is designed primarily for the student not enrolled in the LAS: Science program. This general biology course serves as an introduction covering the sphere of life, its origin, diversity and interrelationships with the environment, the language of life and the transmission of information, and the evolution of life. This study emphasizes the unifying themes that support the network of life and the scientific process through scientific inquiry. Students may not receive credit for both this course and SC 155.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits (3,2) This course is designed primarily for the student not enrolled in the LAS: Science program. This course continues the introduction to college biology covering the systems of life, including energy capture and use, organ systems, reproduction, development and behavior. Prerequisite: SC 141. Students may not receive credit for both this course and SC 156.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits (3,2) This course is designed to introduce the study of the Animal Kingdom which covers the anatomy, evolution, ecology and life histories of the major groups. Prerequisite: SC 141 or for LAS: Science majors - SC 155 and SC 156.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits (3,2) This course is designed to introduce the principles of botany including plant structure, function, growth, reproduction and ecology. The evolution of the Plant Kingdom is considered, along with a survey of present Plant Divisions and an introduction to plant identification. Prerequisite: SC 141 orSC155.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits (3,2) This course examines the collection, preservation, analysis and interpretation of physical evidence of various types, including forensic photography, latent fingerprints, foot prints, tire tracks, firearms identification, tool marks, glass fracture, questioned documents and ink identification. The function of the crime laboratory and the use of the criminalist as an expert witness will also be discussed. The course is designed to aid in the training of potential investigators and those interested in pursuing a forensic science career. It does not qualify the student as a criminalist. Criminal Justice A.S. students only.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits (3,0) This is an introductory course in the fundamentals of genetics. The class conveys the basic processes of gene transmission, regulation, mutation and expression for the liberal arts student. Students learn about the social and historical importance of genetics as well as the future implications for humans. 113
