This course, as part of the Quality Science Education curriculum developed by Pathway for Patient Health, will give students an understanding of the role of regulators with an overview of regulations as stated in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), EudraLex Regulations, Directives and Annexes, and Emerging Market regulations for the life science industries. The faculty will demonstrate the relationship between regulatory requirements and legal accountability while introducing fundamental concepts in the regulations related to clinical trial development, management, ethics, data integrity, data security, privacy, change control, and validation. Topics such as the role of guidance documents and industry standards will be reviewed, and case studies utilized to support the program. The “why” of the regulations will support the student’s ability to enter the life science industry with an understanding of how to optimize patient health and business success by mobilizing enterprise-wide quality effectiveness through innovative systems and critical thinking grounded in science, data, stakeholder awareness and regulatory intelligence.
A study of the seafloor and air ocean interactions. Using the results of the latest technology students will gain an appreciation of this vast and unexplored region of the planet. Class meetings include a mixture of lecture and hands-on laboratory activities.
The science and prediction of weather including the atmosphere, storms, greenhouse effect, heat, radiation, air pollution, climate and climate change. Class meetings include a mixture of lecture and hands-on laboratory activities.
A study of the development of scientific thought. The contributions of Aristotle, Copernicus, Newton, Joule, Thompson (Lord Kelvin), Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Gell-Mann. Emphasis is put on those theories which changes the basic assumptions of science. Two one-hour lectures and one two-hour lab per week.
A brief course in fundamental principles and applications of chemistry to the living world. Two one-hour lectures and one two-hour lab per week.
A basic study of the principles and applications of biology in contemporary life. Two one-hour lectures and one two-hour lab per week.
Introduction to scientific fundamentals. Two one-hour lectures and one two hour lab per week.
Introduction to life science fundamentals. Two one-hour lectures and one two-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: SCI 240.
Introduction to physical science fundamentals. Two one-hour lectures and one two-hour lab per week. Prerequisite: SCI 240.
An introduction to the science and technology of sound. Topics including waves, standing waves, resonant cavities, sound, reflection, refraction, interference, diffraction, basic electronics, and the generation of sound will be covered. Class meetings include a mixture of lecture and hands-on laboratory activities.
An overview of the origin of the Earth, its major processes (movement of continents, opening of oceans and mountain building) common minerals and rock types, geologic structures and landscape development, and the ways in which they all interact. The course presents a quantitative treatment of the Earths internal constituents, forces and near surface geological processes. Includes one field trip. Two hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 101 and PHYS 101 or permission of Chair.
Although risk and failure analysis is currently taught at many universities, this course will dive into the nuances of the life science industries related to the specific regulations that apply to consumer health products. Through the use of historical risk analysis techniques, such as FMEA, Fault Tree, and 5 Why’s, students will be able to analyze a holistic set of data (in-production, across product lines, across equipment, human variability, on-market, on-stability, validation studies, change control, etc.) that will lead to scientifically justified investigations supported by evidence, and the identification of effective corrective and preventative actions (CAPA). Prerequisite: SCI 206.
In this course, students will be exposed to the major design processes that are critical to life science product, process and specification development. Topics to be covered include: cradle to grave product and process development, prototype builds, scalability, design of experiments, variability, control, specification development and validation methodology. Instructors will explore how rigorous human factor engineering studies and clinical trials provide essential inputs into the product development process. The students will be introduced to concepts such as gap analysis, risk assessment, master plan, process characterization, installation qualification, operational qualification, measurement system analysis, repeatability and reproducibility (data collection / analysis), performance qualification/validation. In a world of innovative technology, it is critical that the students gain an understanding of computer system and software validation to ensure the quality of data generation, data storage, and digital processes used in manufacturing and products with digital components using technical and practical aspects expected in the regulated life science industries. Prerequisite: SCI 206.
An intermediate level overview of the solar system and the physical properties of stars, stellar evolution, galaxies and the universe at large.
Detailed studies of selected aspects of resource conservation. Conservation and natural resource management problems at different geographic scales of analysis from the global, regional and local levels will be examined through a number of case studies. Two one-hour lectures and one two-hour lab per week.
Pre-Health Professions Internship provides an opportunity to students to have their off campus Pre-Health experiences recorded on their transcript. This course will fulfill one academic requirement of the Pre-Health Professions Concentration.
This course offers opportunities to students to participate in research with their faculty advisor in any of the science majors offered in the School of Science (Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Mathematics, and Physics). Although the credit is 0 hours, the actual engagement can be of any duration. (Cr. 0) Grading system: P/F. Prerequisite: Consent of the instructor.
