SCI101 Introduction to the Sciences
Science drives our lives. Many of the key quality of life advances we experience in the Western world come through scientific inquiry and the scientific method that drives that thirst for invention and innovation. This course focuses on an appreciation for the many dynamic disciplines – such as chemistry, physics, biology, geology – within this robust field. Students explore the basic tenets of scientific thinking, how this affects the "truths" we live by and the way we make decisions. Quantitative approaches to problem-solving are contrasted to "qualitative" or softer ways to think about issues. This course endeavors to produce greater insight about the ways science shapes the world in which we live.
