101-SN2-RE
Ecology and Evolution
2 - 1 - 2
45
Description:
In this course, students will learn to recognize the characteristics of life, describe how evolution gave rise to diversity, and explain the similarities shared among different life forms. The main groups of organisms will be discussed with respect to their trophic level and ecological importance. Additionally, the structure of ecosystems and the flow of chemicals through the environment will be introduced. The course will address the impact of human activities on biodiversity and biogeochemical cycles. Labs and/or other activities will complement and further explore topics covered in lectures. Furthermore, students will be required to apply the scientific method to acquire and analyze data.
201-SN2-RE
Differential Calculus
3 - 2 - 3
75
Description:
This course provides an introduction to the study of Calculus, particularly single-variable Differential Calculus. Students will be introduced to the concepts of the limit, continuity, and the derivative and will learn how these concepts relate to tangent lines to curves and to rates of change. Students will learn how to compute derivatives using a variety of common rules and techniques. Students will apply the concept of the derivative in applications such as curve-sketching, optimization, and the analysis of rates of change. An introduction to antiderivatives and indefinite integrals will prepare students for the transition to the study of Integral Calculus.
203-SN1-RE
Mechanics
3 - 2 - 3
75
Description:
Mechanics is the first course in the physics sequence. The course focuses on describing various types of motion and explaining the laws governing motion using both forces and conservation laws. In the lab, students will develop experimental physics skills such as the estimation of uncertainties, acquisition and analysis of data by computer, scientific writing and collaboration. Topics include kinematics in one dimension, two dimensions and for circular motion, force, friction, torque, Newton’s laws, work, and power as well as conservation laws for energy, linear momentum and angular momentum.
420-SN1-RE
Programming in Science
1 - 2 - 3
45
Description:
This course will introduce students to the basic building blocks (sequential, conditional, and repetitive control structures), modules (functions and libraries) and basic data types and structures used to write a software program. The students will learn how to analyze problems encountered in a scientific context, and then design, implement, and test algorithms.

202-SN1-RE
General Chemistry
3 - 2 - 3
75
Description:
This course provides the first chemistry component of the CEGEP-level chemistry program. Students will analyze quantitively chemical and physical changes in matter using concepts associated with the structure of atoms and molecules. Emphasis on problem-solving will introduce students to Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, and Industrial Chemistry.
