SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 211<br />

BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH<br />

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT<br />

The Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Health Science Department includes majors in Biology,<br />

Chemistry, and Environmental Health Science. The overall goal of the Department is to provide a sound<br />

education for students in the natural sciences that will prepare them for immediate employment or for<br />

further studies. The goals of the Department are to provide experiences that will enable students to:<br />

1. acquire a knowledge of the basic principles, theories and phenomena;<br />

2. make use of the scientific method in the study of biological, chemical, and environmental<br />

health science phenomena;<br />

3. gain an understanding of the living and physical properties of matter and the treatment of<br />

these properties with appropriate scientific methods;<br />

4. develop basic laboratory skills for the investigation of biological and chemical phenomena<br />

and for the application of technology to solving problems;<br />

5. design and execute experiments involving biological and chemical concepts and materials;<br />

6. develop an awareness of the role of biological and chemical phenomena in adjusting to and<br />

living in a changing environment;<br />

7. analyze and evaluate biological and chemical phenomena in mathematical terms and apply<br />

mathematical solutions to problems;<br />

8. apply ethical principles to the delivery and use of scientific data for public consumption;<br />

9. develop skills and instructional strategies to teach science at the middle and high school<br />

levels; and<br />

10. acquire preparation for entry level positions in the various sciences; for graduate school;<br />

and for the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, other related health disciplines, veterinary<br />

sciences, and engineering.<br />

Biology, chemistry and environmental health science majors are expected to acquire compentency<br />

in these areas.<br />
