DEGREE/DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

concepts covered in the lecture course are explored in greater detail during the lab time using a variety of activities including food experiments, anthropometric measurement, and nutrient analysis and enhanced problem sets. BIOSCI-236 Credits:5 Principles of Biology This course provides an introduction to the organization of living organisms at the molecular, cellular, organism and ecological levels. Biological principles of inheritance, cytology and metabolism of plants, animals and other organisms will be studied. In addition, an overview of the major organ systems of the human body will be included. Prerequisite(s): Complete ENG-195 or ENG 201 with minimum grade of C. BIOSCI-241 Credits:4 Pathophysiology: Disease Process Pathophysiology provides students with an understanding of the relationship between the mechanisms of disease and normal physiology. Topics include alterations in cellular and genetic mechanisms, metabolic abnormalities, fl uid and electrolyte imbalance, infection, immunology and cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and neuromuscular dysfunctions. Prerequisite(s): Complete two semesters of college Anatomy and Physiology BIOSCI-177 or NATSCI-177 and BIOSCI-179 or NATSCI-179 or BIOSCI-201 or NATSCI-201 and BIOSCI-202 or NATSCI-202 with minimum grade of C. BIOSCI-242 Credits:4 Concepts of Science in Health The focus of this course is to provide a basic understanding of the most recent, scienti fi cally based, personal health information such as aging, stroke, cancer, chemical dependency, nutrition, environmental pollution and weight control. Participants analyze their own health-related behaviors and attitudes and are provided with the concepts needed to improve health and well-being. BIOSCI-257 Credits:4 BiologyI This course is the fi rst of a two course series. This course covers chemistry as it pertains to biology, biochemical principles, cell biology, metabolism, cellular energy, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, and ecology. Prerequisite(s): Complete either CHEM-207, NATSCI-207, CHEM-211 or NATSCI-211. BIOSCI-258 Credits:4 BiologyII This course is the second of a two course series. This course covers a survey of organisms including viruses, bacteria, protist, fungi, plants and animals. It will also cover organ systems biology in animals andspeci fi cally in humans. Prerequisite(s): Complete BIOSCI-257 or NATSCI-257.

ABS Capstone Project Course Course provides a capstone project for automated building systems control. Learners will identify, plan, and execute a project in one of the following areas: energy auditing, commissioning, fi re/security systems, controls technologies, or systems technologies. Strategies for training owners and operators will also be explored. Other capstone projects may be done with pre approval by the department. In addition, an optional industry-based internship may be substituted in lieu of a project. Prerequisite(s): Complete ABS-150. BIOSCI – Biological Science (Department 806) BIOSCI-177 Gen Anatomy & Physiology This course examines basic concepts of human anatomy and physiology as they relate to health sciences. Using a body systems approach, the course emphasizes the interrelationships between structure and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization of the entire human body. It is intended to prepare health care professionals who need to apply basic concepts of whole body anatomy and physiology to informed decision-making and professional communication with colleagues and patients. (This course also provides the foundation to, and is prerequisite for, BIOSCI-179.) Prerequisite(s): Two semesters of high school chemistry or one semester of college chemistry (minimum grade of C). Completion of or currently enrolled in ENG 195 or ENG-201. BIOSCI-179 Credits:4 Adv Anatomy & Physiology Advanced Anatomy and Physiology is the second semester in a two semester sequence in which normal human anatomy and physiology are studied using a body systems approach with emphasis on the interrelationships between form and function at the gross and microscopic levels of organization. Instructional delivery within a classroom and laboratory setting. Experimentation within a science lab will include analysis of cellular metabolism, the individual components of body systems such as the nervous, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and urinary. Continued examination of homeostatic mechanisms and their relationship to fl uid, electrolyte, acid-base balance and blood. Integration of genetics to human reproduction and development are also included in this course. Prerequisite(s): Complete BIOSCI 177 or NATSCI-177 with minimum grade of C. Credits:4

Basic Anatomy Examines concepts of anatomy and physiology as they relate to health careers. Students correlate anatomical and physiological terminology to all body systems. BIOSCI-197 Credits:4 Microbiology Examines microbial structure, metabolism, genetics, growth and the relationship between humans and microorganisms. Addresses disease production, epidemiology, host defense mechanisms and the medical impact of microbes. The course also examines the role of microbes in the environment, industry and biotechnology. Prerequisite(s): Complete BIOSCI-177 or NATSCI-177 or BIOSCI-201 or NATSCI-201 with minimum grade of C. BIOSCI-201 Credits:4 Anatomy and Physiology 1 This is a general course presenting unifying concepts critical to a basic understanding of the human body. Lectures and laboratory studies use models and dissection of specimens to present integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine systems. Prerequisite(s): Biology or chemistry and English. Biology may be satis fi edwith one year of high school biology or one semester of college biology. Chemistry may be satis fi ed with one year high school chemistry or one semester of college chemistry with minimum grade of C. Completion of or currently enrolled in ENG 195 or ENG-201. BIOSCI-202 Credits:4 Anatomy and Physiology 2 The cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems are studied, utilizing lecture and laboratory procedures to complete the study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Prerequisite(s): Complete BIOSCI-201 or NATSCI-201 with minimum grade of C. BIOSCI-220 Credits:3 Introduction to Nutritional Science This course is an introductory experience in human nutrition. It is designed to satisfy basic nutritional course requirements for college students entering allied health programs and provide practical and interesting nutritional information for non-health majors as well. This course provides correct, scienti fi cally based information needed to answer basic questions related to nutrition. BIOSCI-230 Credits:1 Intro to Nutrition Lab This course is a complementary laboratory course to NATSCI 220, which o ff ers an introductory experience in human nutrition. This course o ff ers a laboratory experience to complement the basics of nutrition. The
