Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry IHSC 2600 Physics I 6is course focuses on mechanics and covers the following topics:motion in one and two dimensions; Newton’s laws; statics; work,energy, and power; equilibrium and momentum; waves and sound;thermodynamics; and properties of solids and fluids. Course ispresented in a weekend intensive format. Prerequisite: At least onecollege level class in mathematics or equivalent. Laboratoryincluded.HSC 2600L Physics I – Laboratory Only 1.5is is only the laboratory portion of Physics I and should not betaken by anyone intending to complete any course in the Physicsseries. e experiments in this laboratory course focus onmechanics and explore: forces and vectors, gravity, motion andfriction, and torque. is course will also emphasize propermethods for treatment of error in measurements. Not intended forstudents planning to take the full Physics series. Laboratory-onlycourses are intended for students who only need to fulfill alaboratory requirement for a specific course. Prerequisite: At leastone college level class in mathematics or equivalent.HSC 2610 Physics II 6is course includes: electrostatics (conductors, insulators, andpotentials); electromagnetism (magnetic fields and electromagneticradiation); electronic circuits; light and optics (reflection, refraction,mirrors, and lenses); atomic and nuclear physics and associatedelementary particles (atomic structure, radioactive decay, fission,fusion). Course is presented in a weekend intensive format.Prerequisite: Physics I. Laboratory included.HSC 2610L Physics II – Laboratory Only 1.5is is only the laboratory portion of Physics II and should not betaken by anyone intending to complete any course in the Physicsseries. is laboratory class focuses on the properties of materials,including: density, heat capacity, phase changes, and thermalexpansion. Experiments will also cover resistance and conductancein basic electronic circuitry and reflection/refraction in mirroredsystems. Not intended for students planning to take the full Physicsseries. Laboratory-only courses are intended for students who onlyneed to fulfill a laboratory requirement for a specific course.Prerequisite: Physics I.UPPER DIvISION COURSESHSC 3010 Biology of Humans 4is course provides an introduction to molecular, cellular andsystems biology. Emphasis is placed on relating knowledge to theinterrelationship of these systems and to the nature of disease.Exploration is given to the interdependence of human biology andthe environment and the factors that may have an impact ondisease. is course includes a lab and provides a firm foundationfor further study in the biomedical sciences. is course may beapplied toward the lower-division general-education sciencebreadth requirements. Corequisites: COR 3100.HSC 3100 Introduction to Living Systems 4e basic concepts of systems theory as they relate to life processesare explored including both the dynamics and the levels ofcomplexity in natural and artificial systems and the interdependenceof microscopic and macroscopic orders. Special emphasis is givento consciousness, self-replication, and self-regulation via feedbackthat introduces concepts such as Autopoiesis and bifurcationpoints. is course may be applied toward the lower-divisiongeneral-education science breadth requirements. Corequisites:COR 3100, COR 3146.HSC 3110 Anatomy and Physiology: Dynamic LivingSystems Perspective 4is course explores the structure and function of the human bodyfrom a dynamic systems perspective. A traditional overview of allbody systems and anatomical features will be presented.Additionally, the course will explore the intersection of anatomyand physiology systems with the wellness and psycho-emotionaldimensions of embodiment. A variety of visual, auditory, andkinesthetic learning methods will be utilized to facilitate optimumretention and practical application of primary terms and concepts.Prerequisite: COR 3100.HSC 3145 Critical Review and Writing in the HealthSciences 4is course focuses on the development of research and writingskills appropriate for scholarly communication in the broad field ofpublic health sciences. Broadly these skills include (but are notlimited to) understanding how to research the public healthliterature and the ability to demonstrate scientific writing that58 College of Undergraduate Studies JOHN F.
