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.
SCI 102Introduction to Physical Science
Lec. 3./Credit 3. Some concepts and methods of modern physical science; consid- eration of its role in modern thought and society. Special emphasis will be given to topical themes that relate physical science prin- ciples to contemporary issues in science, technology and society.
Physical Science Lec. 3./Lab 2./Credit 4. Some concepts and methods of modern physical science; consideration of its role in modern thought and society. Special emphasis will be given to topical themes that relate physical science principles to contemporary issues in science, technology and society.
SCI 203Introduction to Nanoscience Lec. 3./Credit 3
This course introduces students to nanoscience by introducing the concept of size and scale as they pertain to the discipline. It also introduces students to common terminology, and covers the basic mathematics required for working in the nanoscale. The course surveys nano for each of the sciences: nanophysics, nanochemistry, nanobiology and the technical evolution of nanotechnology in nano-engineering. This course satisfies the University’s general education core requirement in physical science. Prerequisite: None.
Including selected concepts of astronomy, geology, meteorology, and ocean- ography. Approach is to show development of these concepts, their interrela- tionships, and present status.
SCI 301Introduction to Biometry Lec. 3./Lab 2./Credit 3
Application of parametric and non-parametric statistics to data generated in various areas of biology and environmental science; analysis of growth curves and population fluctuations. Special emphasis on data presentation and decision-making. Programmable calculators or computers are used extensively.
Consideration of Principles and practices governing the teaching of science in K-6, survey of recent trends and literature in the field, use of demonstra- tions, experiments, field experiences. Special emphasis on science content and appropriate teaching techniques utilizing the natural, physical, environ- mental and earth science as departure points. The coursework will integrate the Computer Technology Standards of Learning for Virginia’s Public Schools Grades K-12 and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards for applying instructional technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation strategies to enhance productivity and professional practice, maximize student learning, and understand the social, ethical, legal, and human issues surrounding the use of technology in PK-12 schools. SCI (Science – Graduate Only)
Lec. 3./Credit 3. Historical examination of scientific method and its implications in articles on research and examination of tools and apparatus. 388 Course Descriptions – Main Campus
