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. B.I0-~17 inc.ludes the endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular, d1gest1ve, unnary, and reproductive system. Four lectures and one t"'.'o-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BI0-100 Principles of ~10logy, or CHEM-154 Principles of Chemistry, or permission of mstructor. (Fee: $35) CHEM-154 Principles of Chemistry-A,Su 5 hours For non-science majors, an introduction to atomic structure, ionic and covalent bonding, stoichiometry, ldnetic theory, solutions and equilibria, nuclear chemistry, nomenclature, structure, 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. Laboratory will stress quantitative skills. Four lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: high school chemistry and Algebra II. (Fee: $35). GSCl-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 ine9ualities with an e~phasis on c?mputational proficiency. Other topic~ covered are rat10nal and radical equations, functional notat10n, and exponential and logarithmic functions. This course is designed to prepare the student for GSCI-184 College Algebra or othe~ mathematics courses of comparable difficulty. The class time consists of three hours of lecture and two one-hour laboratories 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 Princip~es of Earth and Space Science-Sp,Su 5 hours A survey of the sciences of geology, oceanography, meteorology, ~nd astrono!11y. 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) Gsq-161 Principles of Physical Science-W,Su 5 hours An mtroductory study of the sciences of physics and chemistry 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) GSCI-162 Environmental Physical Science-A 5 hours hysical and chemical principles underlying environmental topics of current and long-standing interest are studied: energy (nuclear and other ldnds), food chemistry and nutrition, soaps, water and air quality, and others, depending on time and class interest. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35) GSCI-166 Introduction to Physical Geology-A,W,Su 5 hours An introduction to the study of the earth and its processes. Minerals, fossils, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks will be studied. Earth processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes, weathering, streams, glaciers, plate movements, and mountain building will be examined both from evolutionary and creationist perspectives with special emphasis on how the Flood has affected these processes and features. A field trip of southwest Ohio will examine the rocks, glacial features, and fossils of the area. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. (Fee: $35) GSCI-167 Historical Geology 5 hours The earth's geological history from both creationist and evolution– ary perspectives will be studied from its early history to the present. Topics of study include plate tectonics, biological evolution and the meaning of the fossil record, and the correlation and dating of rocks. Special emphasis will be placed on how the Flood has affected the earth's original creation and form. A field trip will study local fossils and their depositional history. Four weekly lectures and one weekly two-hour la~oratory. Prerequisite: GSCI-160 Principles of Earth and Space Science or GSCI-166 Introduction to Physical Geology. (Fee: $35) GSCI-180 Introduction to Mathematics-A,W,Sp,Su 5 hours An introduction to mathematical concepts including voting theory, apportionment and fair division, models of population growth and graph theory.
