This course is designed for the study of the essential elements of statics. The topics covered include the analysis of forces acting on particles and rigid bodies in static equilibrium, beams, frames and machines; vectors, forces and particle equilibrium, free body diagrams, centroids, loads and elements of frictions. Students will gain understanding of the fundamentals of the mechanics of rigid bodies, centre of mass and moment of inertia.

Grounded on the basic principles and concepts of sociology. It introduces students to the sociological perspective. It places emphasis on how social, economic, religious, educational and political environments have affected cultural settings as well as human behavior. The course provides an overview of the general principles, concepts, generalizations, and theories of sociology including culture, social structure, group dynamics, social problems and social change. It provides an understanding of the socio-cultural heritage of different groups through the in-depth processes of reading, writing, speaking, listening and critical thinking.

Part one of a two-term comprehensive course in physics involving the use of calculus in problem-solving. Topics include mechanics, heat, wave motion, and sound.

This laboratory course provides the student the basic ideas of measurement, analysis of experimental data, and laboratory methods. Each experiment is designed to verify a principle or concept of physics. In a lecture science course where there is a required co-requisite lab, students may withdraw from the lab class, but stay in the lecture class. (Students may also choose to withdraw from both). Students will not be allowed to withdraw from the lecture and remain enrolled in the lab. 

The second part of a two-term physics course employing the use of calculus. Topics covered during this term are electricity, magnetism, and optics.

Laboratories designed to accompany SCI 249.

Students in this course will examine major environmental problems to make them aware of current and potential environmental issues from the perspectives of society, business and the individual

A study of the basic concepts of physical science. Topics covered include the influence of the scientific method in understanding science, energy and motion; Newtonian physics, the solar system, the universe and geology.

Will expose students to the three major dimensions of health – physical, emotional and social. Health, nutrition, substance abuse, infectious diseases and stress management are among the issues that will be discussed. Students will learn to intelligently relate knowledge of health to the social issues of our day.

The first course in a two-term sequence, SCI 145 and SCI 146. This sequence includes two labs SCI 145L to be taken concurrently with SCI 145, and SCI 146L to be taken with SCI 146. Topics covered include chemical measurements, stoichiometry, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, inorganic compounds, nomenclature and formula writing, gases, liquids, solids, solutions, acid-base chemistry and ionic reactions and descriptive chemistry of non-metals. To enroll, students must pass a department placement exam or obtain departmental approval.
