SCI 103Earth Science3
This course is an introduction to the science of Earth. Students apply fundamental physics and chemistry to the study of Earth's composition, origin and development. Topics include geology, oceanography, hydrology, earthquakes, volcanoes and other natural hazards. Semester Offered: F/S/SU level English, MAT 095 with a grade of "C" or higher or equivalent placement measures
and Effects The focus of this course is the science related to weather and climate, how humans affect weather and climate, and weather and climate's effect on humans. Students use basic laws and
This course focuses on the basic concepts of environmental science. Students apply fundamental physics and chemistry to the study of the physical world they live in, and, through the laboratory component, gain an understanding of the methods and applications of science. Topics include consumption and conservation of Earth's natural resources, the impact of the humans on the environment, waste management and renewable energy sources. Semester Offered: F/S/SU level English
This course examines the environmental dimensions of agriculture and its social and economic implications. Students will explore the ecology of food production and the inherent challenges of climate change, growing populations, and resource depletion. Topics include ecosystem structure, energetics, climate change, population growth, nutrition, health, genetics and genetic engineering, food insecurity, sustainability and resilience, and environmental justice. Semester Offered: S
This course consists of a survey of historical knowledge about astronomy, as well as recent developments in the field. Topics include constellations, coordinates, light, Solar System planets, the sun, stars, galaxies, and conditions for life on other planets. Students perform out-of-class projects including observational aspects of astronomy, such as the night sky, moon phases, and the seasons. Semester Offered: F/S
This course emphasizes the scientific basis of introductory astronomy concepts, using labs and algebra to demonstrate the processes. Students learn physics concepts essential to continued study of astronomy, including Newtonian gravity, planetary motion, the electromagnetic spectrum, optics, and theories of the solar System and its contents. Labs are a mixture of daytime astronomy and physics related topics, and required night-time on-campus observational astronomy sessions. Students are required to observe on campus at night a minimum of (1) time during the semester; a choice of dates will be provided. Semester Offered: F/S level English, MAT 095 with a grade of "C" or higher or equivalent placement measures
