9 courses with the subject SCI, 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.
SCI 100Issues and Adventures in Science3
(s) Hours: 3 hrs. The most recent and important discoveries in the biological and physical sciences are presented, observed, discussed, and experimented with, to acquaint students with the world around them. Brain research, studies of aging, disease, fertility, immunity, and the origin of life are explored. Studies emphasize relations to mankind's place in the universe, self-explorations and technological achievements.

SCI 3700Developments in the Physical Sciences (with Laboratory)3
(s) Hours: 5 hrs. (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. laboratory) Basic concepts in the physical sciences and their applications in today's technologically advanced world are presented. The impact that modern technology has on our physical environment is examined. Selected topics include: pollution, ozone layer depletion, global climate change, pesticides and chemicals in food, energy sources (renewable and non-renewable), and medical and military applications of technology. Students will engage in science through application of the methods of science (e.g. empirical, experimental and scientific method). Students will develop the ability to formulate strong, logical, science-based arguments, evaluate and discuss environmental issues, and test hypotheses to improve problem solving skills. Student must complete SCI 3700 Laboratory - Initial Student Safety Instruction & Certification prior to the first laboratory meeting. See Department of Physical Sciences website Chemistry Laboratory Safety section for information.
