7 courses with the subject SI, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
SI 205Concepts in Science3
This course introduces students to selected concepts, issues, and methods in science. The non-specialist student explores areas of scientific inquiry that have a significant effect on cultural, intellectual, and environmental issues. Some work with mathematics is included. Fulfills: Science Requirement or Liberal Arts Elective
Reading and Critical Thinking and Research and Rhetoric (grade of C- or higher required in each course)
SI 210Concepts in Chemistry3
This course introduces students to chemical concepts through a series of questions about everyday life. Students will explore topics such as how touch screens work, why orange juice tastes bad after brushing your teeth, and how smells travel across a room. The focus of the course is on understanding the world around us without using mathematical calculations. Fulfills: Science Requirement or Liberal Arts Elective
Reading and Critical Thinking and Research and Rhetoric (grade of C- or higher required in each course)
SI 216Environmental Issues: Global and Local3
This course examines planetary environmental changes and trends and their effect on humanity. An emphasis is placed on the historical background of current conditions, such as long-term cycles like glaciation, as well as the more recent emergence of humanity as a species capable of modifying the planet's environment. Specific local issues of pollution and environmental control are also explored. Fulfills: Science Requirement or Liberal Arts Elective
Reading and Critical Thinking and Research and Rhetoric (grade of C- or higher required in each course)
SI 225Are You What You Eat? Intro to Human Nutrition3
Students will study the impact of nutrition on wellness by focusing on eating practices and their effect on the overall health of the human body. This course will introduce the basic chemistry needed to understand the biology of nutrition. Topics include food groups, nutrients, product label interpretation, and nutrition's role in disease and wellness. Students will be required to complete assignments, read the assigned text, and complete a project. Fulfills: Science Requirement or Liberal Arts Elective
Reading and Critical Thinking and Research and Rhetoric (grade of C- or higher required in each course)
SI 350Forensic Science3
Forensic Science will introduce students to modern criminal investigative techniques through hands-on activities. Students will learn how to observe, collect, analyze and evaluate evidence found at crime scenes. Topics include evidence collection, serology, DNA analysis, fingerprint analysis, and chemical analysis of physical evidence. Fulfills: Science Requirement or Liberal Arts Elective
Reading and Critical Thinking and Research and Rhetoric (grade of C- or higher required in each course)
SI 395398 Topics in Science3
This course provides an in-depth study of a time period or topic in Science. The topic may be selected to take advantage of special events, to allow further exploration of a subject covered in a preliminary way in other courses, or to explore areas not sufficiently covered by the regular class rotation. Fulfills: Science Requirement or Liberal Arts Elective
Reading and Critical Thinking and Research and Rhetoric (grade of C- or higher required in each course)
SI 399Science Independent Study3
