5 courses with the subject SCIE, 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.
SCIE 511Physics of Energy Materials3
Lecture Hours: 2 Lab Hours: 1 This course is designed to give a broad knowledge about fundamental physical principles which will help in selecting and using materials for applications in energy technologies. This project and activity-based course will train students through experimental methods, with hands-on activities related to the topics discussed in the classroom teaching. Students will be introduced to basic physics principles and instruments, including electrical and electrochemical testing of solar cells, light emitting diodes, thin film transistors, batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen production etc. This provides the necessary information about the material aspects of modern technology. Students will be able to integrate the topics discussed in this class into their high/middle school courses. 288
Lecture Hours: 2 Lab Hours: 1 This chemistry course will provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct research, understand application of analytical instruments to the real-world issues, and analyze results. Over the duration of the course students will learn the theory behind a variety of spectroscopic and separation techniques, instrumentation hardware, and data analysis techniques. Students will develop critical thinking and reading skills as well as develop their scientific communication skills (both verbal and writing).
Lecture Hours: 2 Lab Hours: 1 An introduction into the application of optical spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance to solve experimental problems through the interpretation of observed phenomena. While enough theory will be used to explain the techniques, this course will focus on developing experimental techniques and critically evaluating collected data. Spectral qualities, such as resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and linewidth will be explained to train students to assess the quality of collected spectra. The course also will focus on the use of UV-Visible and fluorescence spectroscopy to probe electronic excited states, infrared and Raman to elucidate molecular structure, and nuclear magnetic resonance to investigate molecular structure and reaction dynamics. The effects of molecular symmetry and structure on the observed spectra will be investigated.
Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0 Examination of current trends in science and the science instruction, instructional issues facing elementary, secondary, and community college science teachers, and application of learning theory to teaching biological, physical, and environmental sciences.
SCIE 650Earth and Space Science for Science Educators3
Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0 This course covers the advanced content knowledge that a secondary Earth Science teacher is expected to know and understand. Topics include basic scientific principles of Earth and space sciences, tectonics and internal Earth processes, Earth materials and surface processes, history of the Earth and its lifeforms, Earth's atmosphere and hydrosphere, and astronomy. In addition, teaching science is not just about covering 289
