10 courses with the subject GSS, 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.
GSS 103Science of Physics I4
Description: An introductory course designed for students with a primary interest in the humanities or physical education. The course goal is to achieve a conceptual understanding of the ideas of physics. The historical and philosophical background as well as the content of physics is studied. Laboratory exercises are designed to illustrate principles of scienti SUNY GEN ED -n/a; NCC GEN ED -LSCI Offered: Fall, Spring Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
required for GSS 104 . Description: A conceptual course in physics dealing with waves, electricity and magnetism. 20th-century physics, the historical and philosophical background as well as the content of physics, will be discussed. Laboratory exercises are designed to illustrate principles of scientific experimentation while deepening the understanding of physical ideas. Laboratory SUNY GEN ED -n/a; NCC GEN ED -LSCI Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
A high school course in elementary Algebra. Note: GSS 103 is recommended, but not
GSS 106Science of Sound and Music4
Description: Fundamentals of mechanics, sound and acoustics, energy, electricity and magnetism with applications to music, musical instruments, sound systems and electronic music. The course material is developed descriptively and demonstrated experimentally. Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GE-SSCI; SUNY GEN ED -GLAB; NCC GEN ED -LSCI Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
Description: This introductory course will focus on the nature of light and color. It will include not only the principles of geometric and physical optics but also general properties of waves and particles; the relation between light and matter; quantum theory and photons; light, heat, temperature and energy; and the conservation of energy. These physical princ SUNY GE-SSCI; SUNY GEN ED -GLAB; NCC GEN ED -LSCI Offered: Fall, Spring Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
Description: An introductory laboratory science course designed for non-technically oriented students who desire an understanding of the capabilities, characteristics and methods of our modern technological society. Contemporary problems are discussed including such topics as air and water quality, waste management technologies, population dynamics, decision-mak SUNY GE-SSCI; SUNY GEN ED -GLAB; NCC GEN ED -LSCI Offered: Fall, Spring Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
Description: A continuation of GSS 111 which includes additional topics such as electrical energy, noise pollution, light and laser applications, nuclear power generation, heat and thermal pollution. Laboratory modeling and simulation are utilized to aid in the understanding of the technology and the underlying science principles. Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED -GLAB; NCC GEN ED -LSCI Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
Description: The course is designed for non-technical students and will provide a conceptual understanding of science related to electronic devices. The course details science fundamentals using a non-mathematical approach, then focuses the presentation to include applications in the area of electronics (entertainment, business, communication, home electronics). SUNY GE-SSCI; SUNY GEN ED -GLAB; NCC GEN ED -LSCI Offered: Fall, Spring Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
Description: This introductory course covers the scientific principles and technological innovations related to Energy resources. The study of mechanics, electricity, magnetism and thermodynamics pertinent to energy are explained. Students develop an appreciation of energy use in the contemporary world by examining alternate energy systems such as solar, wind, p SUNY GE-SSCI; SUNY GEN ED -n/a; NCC GEN ED -NSCI Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
Description: The course introduces the various types of physical evidence commonly encountered at crime scenes (e.g., fingerprints, hairs, fibers, drugs, glass, etc.), and discusses comparison and identification techniques (i.e., optical examination/comparison, instrumental analysis, and various chemical processes) used for the analysis of such physical evidence SUNY GE-SSCI; SUNY GEN ED n/a; NCC GEN ED -NSCI Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
Description: This course introduces students to the science governing fundamental sustainable design and green building practices and their implementation. Topics include building site selection, building orientation, water and energy efficiency, renewable energy and storage, on-site power generation, improvement of indoor air quality including air quality and e SUNY GE-SSCI; SUNY GEN ED -n/a; NCC GEN ED - NSCI Offered: Fall, Spring Department: Sci, Tech, Engineering & Math
