This course is intended to introduce the students to the fundamental concepts needed for a thorough understanding of biotechnology and its applications. It provides an overview of the objectives, techniques, and problems related to the application of biotechnology in different fields. Major subjects addressed include medical biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, agriculture applications, and environmental applications. Also discussed will be ethical issues and their implication in the new biotechnological advances. Updates to the new breakthroughs and discoveries will be emphasized.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114 AND BIOL115
-
1.00 Credits
Selected topics in Marine Science will vary depending on the individual needs of the students and the relevant literature. The course may be repeated, for which additional work will be required.
Prerequisite:
Intro to Biology; May be taken concurrently.
-
3.00 Credits
At its most basic, marine science is the study of the world's oceans. This includes the dynamic processes that govern the ocean, such as the movement of water currents and the availability of sunlight for photosynthesis. It also includes examining the unique challenges for life in salty water, which is often dark and cold. Marine science is traditionally divided into four key areas: biological, chemical, physical, and geological. This course will provide students with an introduction to all 4 of these areas, including an exploration of how each of these interact with and affect marine life.
Prerequisite:
BIOL114
