Course Descriptions General Education Designed to meet the General Education Requirements for graduation (except where noted). They will not count toward any of the science or mathematics majors. A student majoring in science or mathematics may take these courses only as electives. However, any course listed for science or mathematics major or minor may also count toward fulfilling General Education Requirements. BI0-100 Principles of Biology-A,W,Sp,Su 5 hours Emphasizes basic life processes and the principles by which these processes operate at the ecological, organismic, and cellular levels of organization with emphasis on human responsibility toward life at all levels. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35) BI0-101 Environmental Biology-Su 5 hours Emphasizes relationships among living organisms and the environment. Classroom discussion, frequent field studies, and student projects will teach students to integrate biological and Christian stewardship principles, and apply them toward under standing local community and global environmental problems. (Fee: $35) BI0-216,217 Human Anatomy and Physiology I,II-A,W 5 hours each quarter A survey of the principal systems of the human body with empha– sis on both strncture and function. BI0-216 includes a review of basic biology plus the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. BI0-217 includes the endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, and reproductive system. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BI0-100 Principles of Biology or equivalent. (Fee: $35) CHEM-154 Principles of Chemistry-A,Su 5 hours For non-science majors, an introduction to atomic strncture, ionic and covalent bonding, stoichiometry, kinetic theory, solutions and equilibria, nuclear chemistty, nomenclature, strncture, and reactions of organic compounds. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35). CHEM-158 Chemistry for Engineers-W,Su 5 hours A study of the states of matter, energy, and chemical change. Laborat01y will stress quantitative skills. Four lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: high school chemistry and Algebra II. (Fee: $35). GSCI-100 Intermediate Algebra-A,W,Sp 4 hours A review of algebraic principles, which are then extended to the solution of polynomial equations, systems of linear equations, and inequalities with an emphasis on computational proficiency. Other topics covered are rational and radical equations, functional notation, and exponential and logarithmic functions. This course is designed to prepare the student for GSCI-184 College Algebra or other mathematics courses of comparable difficulty. The class time consists of three hours of lecture and two one-hour labs per week. May not be applied toward the 192 quarter hours needed for graduation nor toward the science and mathematics General Education Requirement. GSCI-160 Principles of Earth and Space Science-Sp,Su 5 hours A survey of the sciences of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. Will be studied from both evolutionary and creation– ist perspectives. About half the course will deal with the basic fundamentals of geology considering the main rock types and geological activities of the earth. Also includes a brief overview of the processes and composition of the oceans and the atmosphere and a consideration of the science of astronomy and the origin of the universe. Labs will include activities in each of these subjects. Field trips will be taken to learn about the local geology. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35) GSCI-161 Principles of Physical Science-W,Su 5 hours An introductory study of the sciences of physics and chemistty with emphasis on basic concepts and principles as well as the develop– ment of foundational laws pertaining to these disciplines. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35)
