13 courses with the subject NSCI, 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.
and Ecology 3 credits | Lecture/Lab Introduction to population factors, ecological processes, and techniques used to manage wildlife. Wildlife groups including big and small game, endangered waterfowl, and non-game also discussed. Recitation/lab sessions focus on specific topics such as law enforcement, population sampling techniques, fish identification and current management issues.
| Lecture Provides an understanding of the role enforcement plays in the overall management of natural resources and introduces students to Minnesota Statutes and Rules. Provides examples of techniques used to enforce resource laws as well as introduction to identification of both native and invasive species. P a g e | 95
| Lecture/Lab This is a one semester course that will cover four areas of physical science. The chemistry portion will cover the periodic table, naming compounds and chemical reactions including those contributing to climate change. The physics portion will cover one- dimensional motion, Newton's Laws, conservation of energy and momentum, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, and alternative energy sources. The atmospheric science portion will cover Earth's atmosphere and its dynamics, weather patterns, and climate. The geology portion will cover surface processes, plate tectonics, rock types, and mineral resources.Laboratory is included. Prerequisities: MATH 0200. MNTC Goal Area(s): 03, 10
| Lecture/Lab An introductory investigation of dynamic and interacting physical systems and processes not limited to the major sub-disciplines of earth science including astronomy, geology, geography, geomorphology, hydrology, meteorology, oceanography, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Cycles of matter and energy, resource use, human adaptations and sustainability are examined. The scientific method is presented as a process by which these complex systems can be studied and understood. MNTC Goal Area(s): 03, 10
| Lecture Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of environmental science by exploring basic ecological principles, human population, energy and natural resources, major environmental concerns, and environmental sustainability. Students will examine the environmental consequences of selected lifestyle choices and investigate local environmental issues. Students may earn credit for only one of the two Environmental Science courses (this course or NSCI 1221 Environmental Science with Laboratory). MNTC Goal Area(s): 03, 10
| Lecture The weather elements are studied in detail to determine how they produce our weather. A climatological approach is used to develop an understanding of the weather elements and their distribution over the continents. MNTC Goal Area(s): 03
| Lecture This is a concept-based astronomy course that covers our Solar System, our galaxy and our universe. Students will learn about phenomena on Earth caused by the Moon and the Sun, the motion of astronomical objects, how astronomers use light to study the universe, the different objects in the Solar System, stellar evolution, galaxies, and cosmology. Students may earn credit for only one of the two Astronomy courses (this course or NSCI 1231 Astronomy). MNTC Goal Area(s): 03
| Lecture/Lab Foster an appreciation for the nature of our place in the universe as we investigate the science of modern astronomy. A wide variety of topics are explored, not limited to Earth-Moon-Sun Relationships, Planetary, Stellar, Galactic and Cosmological astronomy. Some laboratory sessions will be scheduled as evening activities. Concepts are addressed within the context of the scientific method. Students may earn credit for only one of the two Astronomy courses (this course or NSCI 1230 Introduction to Astronomy). Prerequisities: MATH 0200 MNTC Goal Area(s): 03, 10 P a g e | 96
| Lecture This course provides an understanding of past and present natural resource management legislation, policy, values and issues impacted by the social and resource demands of society. Students will examine traditional and current economic, ethical, scientific and ecological principles and apply them to current issues of renewable resource management locally, nationally, and globally.(Cross-listed course; students can enroll only in NSCI1265 or NRT 1265.) Prerequisities: ENGL 0100, ENGL 0200 MNTC Goal Area(s): 10
| Lecture Science and Society is an interdisciplinary course that allows students to investigate current and historical issues in a variety of scientific fields through the lenses of ethics and impacts on society. Students will learn how to research topics using a variety of sources, analyze and validate information, distinguish between scientific evidence and pseudoscientific claims, and use evidence to support arguments. The process of scientific investigation, potential sources of bias and error, and the meaning of scientific consensus will be discussed, along with the roles and responsibilities of the media and government in both oversight and direction of research and of communicating scientific information to the public MNTC Goal Area(s): 09, 03
| Lecture/Lab Forensic Science is the application of basic principles and laboratory methods in chemistry, biology, and physics, to solving problems related to criminal justice and civil issues. This course emphasizes the scientific basis behind forensic applications such as identification of unknown substances, blood type and DNA comparisons, analysis of trace evidence, and environmental forensics, as well as crime scene analysis and proper collection of evidence. MNTC Goal Area(s): 03
| Lecture/Lab This course will introduce students to the broad topic of fisheries and aquatic science. The course will include an overview of specific issues surrounding the management of fish and fisheries and students will learn taxonomic features of freshwater fish. Students MINNESOTA NORTH COLLEGE | 2024-25 CURRICULUM CATALOG will understand basic water chemistry and processes in managing water impoundments. Boat and water safety is also addressed in this course. NURSING ASSISTANT/HOME HEALTH AIDE
