Designed for non-STEM majors, this course will examine fundamental concepts in physical science. Scientific reasoning, discovery, and invention provide a context for understanding reality-based applications of science. Topics will vary by semester and be identified by subtitle.

Introduces students to the use of the scientific method in various scientific settings. Using the case study method, students will cover a diverse range of topics which may include such topics as: the effects of radiation on biological systems, cancer and waste water treatment.

Examines superheroes through the lens of modern physics. The student will use basic physics principles such as mechanics, energy, and quantum mechanics to model and explain the powers and events in literature, which consists of comic books, sci-fi novels, and fantasy novels. This course will develop problem solving skills that are useful in a variety of real world applications. This course assumes no previous knowledge of physics and will be useful for science and non-science majors alike.

Examines the principals and theories of forensic science and how they are used in the United States' judicial system. The course will explore how evidence is collected, stored and analyzed. The student will gain a basic understanding of the scientific and analytical theories of how evidence is evaluated and evidence is used in the courtroom. Explores how forensics was used in solving major cases and how forensics has impacted landmark Supreme Court rulings.
