Courses

01:556:101 Studies in Biomedical Sciences (3) Lectures and laboratory in microbiology including basic morphology, physiology, and genetics of bacteria and viruses, with an introduction to human pathogens. Experience in a clinical department and participation in biomedical research and seminars. Lec. 2 hrs., lab. 3 hrs. Open only to students in the biomedical careers program. Prerequisites: One year of college, including one semester of college biology or chemistry, and one semester of college math. Enrollment by permission only. Offered only during the summer semester.
01:556:130 Introduction to Scientific Research (3) How research projects are developed and what skills are needed to undertake research projects. Lectures, discussions, and small-group activities. Serves as a prerequisite for the research-oriented internship of Project SUPER. Pre- or corequisites: 01:640:112 or 115; one course in the natural sciences. Enrollment limited to students in Project SUPER.
01:556:140 The Greenhouse Effect (3) Physical and chemical bases of the "greenhouse effect" and its global impact: biological, climatic, economic, and political. Reducing the emission of "greenhouse" gases; nuclear energy and other alternative energy sources. Lec. 2 hrs., lab. 1.5 hrs. For nonscience majors; not for major credit in science and engineering. Credit not given for both this course and 01:160:140 or 01:450:140 or 01:750:140.
01:556:143 Energy and Climate Change (4) Introduction to science and the scientific method within the context of humanity's need for energy and the resulting impact on climate. Climate, physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering as they relate to energy and sustainability from a global perspective. Survey of energy-related economics and policy options.
01:556:201 Studies in Biomedical Sciences (3) Introductory biochemistry emphasizing major classes of biomolecules, intermediary metabolism, and gene expression. Selected laboratory projects in bacterial physiology and molecular biology. Instruction in organic chemistry also available where needed. Research/clinical seminars required. Lec. 2 hrs., lab. 3 hrs. Open only to students in the biomedical careers program. Prerequisites: Two years of college; two semesters of college chemistry; and two semesters in one of the following areas: college biology, organic chemistry, or physics. Enrollment by permission only. Offered only during summer semester.
01:556:271 Immigrant States: Jersey's Global Routes (3) New Jersey as one of the top immigrant destinations in the United States, yet also one of the most ethnically and racially segregated states. Analysis of how and why racial/ethnic differences shape a person's experiences of and perspectives on the world locally, nationally, and internationally.
