SCI 2304 - Scientific Inquiry: The Practice of Progress 3 F S

Students will embark on a journey of discovery through the practice of modern science, using current technological, biomedical, and environmental issues as avenues of illumination. They will learn how scientists know what they know, how changes to knowledge are inherent to the nature of science, and how ethical scientific innovation is performed. Engaging in both the classroom and laboratory, students will discern how we as humans observe the world we live in, attempt to understand it, and venture to change it. The goal is for students to become more perceptive, more reflective, and more prepared to live in a world in which science increasingly plays a pivotal role in their daily lives and futures.
