7 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.
An introduction to earth system science and environmental change, exploring natural processes of and human influences on the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Fall.
This course is designed to teach the use of the scientific method including designing an experiment, data collection, data analysis, data presentation and experimental critique. The content of the course topic will be current issues in science from a variety of fields including biology, chemistry, physics and environmental science. The topic of the course will change depending upon the instructor, but will emphasize critical thinking through assignments, projects, and tests. Hands-on experience primarily in the application of the scientific method will be incorporated into a weekly laboratory component. Fall, Spring. Note: Includes weekly laboratory session.
An introduction to the basic sciences: physics, chemistry, and earth science, using the Scientific Method to explain and discover basic scientific principles. The physics component will emphasize critical thinking in order to solve simple problems of quantitative and qualitative nature. Basic chemical concepts will be discovered and discussed. The earth science component will introduce the forces that shape and govern the occurrences in Earth’s systems. The unifying idea central to the course is an understanding of the concept of energy, what it is, what it does, and what are its effects. Note: Includes weekly laboratory session.
A study of the distributions of the natural phenomena of the earth’s surface and the atmosphere. The laboratory is devoted to using and interpreting published weather data, weather maps, topographic and geologic maps, and aerial photographs.
This hybrid online course is designed as an introductory weather course that focuses on an atmospheric field trip as students explore weather maps, satellite/radar imagery, daily weather summaries, and learning investigations key to the day’s weather. Topics will be learned by examining real-time weather data.
An internship position utilizing skills and concepts learned through major course work. Internships may include, but are not limited to, laboratories, museums, animal care facilities, department of health, and treatment plants. This course is for Biology or Chemistry majors who want course credit for completing a minimum of 120 hours of internship work. Note 1: Minimum of 10 on-site work hours per week (or the equivalent in summer). Course is also offered as SCI 472 for two semester hours. Note 2: Must have junior or senior status in biology or chemistry majors.
This is a capstone course that will require science majors to draw upon previous course and research/ internship experiences. Students will share their experience of the internship/research projects and apply that experience to topical problems. An emphasis will be placed on critical thinking, speaking, and writing as a scientist. Spring. must be completed before registering for this course. Note: This course serves as the Summit course for the Biology and Chemistry majors. A grade of “C-” or higher is required for graduation. Courses of Instruction: Social Work
