Anthropology
ANTH 1 Introduction to Biological Anthropology  (4 units)
Lecture: M W Th  1:00 - 3:10 PM

Lab: T  1:00 - 3:10 PM
     Using an evolutionary framework, we examine how past and current human variation is measured, our place in nature, human genetics, human and nonhuman primate biology and behavior, the primate and hominin fossil record, and the origin and meaning of human biological and behavioral variation. Students gain experience in biological anthropology methods, data analysis and interpretation, and the theoretical frameworks that guide our understanding of what it means to be human. (Lab 15 hours).

Computer Science
CSCI 10 Introduction to Computer Science (5 units)
     Introduction to computer science, and computer programming in Python. Basic programming structures, conditionals, loops, functions, recursion, arrays. Topics relating to the applications of and social impact of computing, including privacy, artificial intelligence, computation in physics, psychology, and biology. Discussion of cryptography, computation through history, networks, hardware, and basic runtime analysis. Includes weekly lab. CSCI 10 may be taken for credit if the student has received credit for COEN 10, but not COEN 11 or a similar introductory programming course, or CSCI 60. 

Mathematics
MATH 8 Introduction to Statistics (4 units)
M T Th  10:20 AM - 12:30 PM

     Elementary topics in statistics, including descriptive statistics, regression, probability, random variables and distributions, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing for one population and for two populations, goodness of fit, and contingency tables.

Theatre

M W Th  10:20 AM - 12:30 PM

     Designed for majors and nonmajors, Improv seeks to expand the participant’s capability for spontaneity, flexibility of thought, creativity, communication, and teamwork through the use of theatre games and specifically structured improvisation exercises. No previous acting experience is necessary for this course. Every level of performer or non-performer will have something to contribute and learn from this experience. Topics such as the impact of status on relationships, nonverbal communication, staying positive, building on ideas offered by others, and developing narratives will be explored throughout this class.

M Th   1:00 - 2:00 PM

     This course provides an introduction to engineering, including fundamentals of engineering study, different engineering disciplines, and interdisciplinary aspects of engineering. This course investigates the connection between science, technology, and society, and also illustrates the extent to which engineering impacts the world. The course also exposes students to entrepreneurship, engineering professionalism, the growth mindset, emerging markets, ethics, and civic engagement. ENGR 1 and ENGR 1L together fulfill the Science, Technology & Society core requirement.

 

M Th   2:00 - 5:00 PM
    The laboratory will provide students with hands-on experience of engineering design and open-ended problem solving. The lab focuses on introducing aspects of the different engineering disciplines and allows students to gain experience with each of the engineering disciplines and reflect on learning gains with teamwork, communication, and engineering skills. Engineering designs will be framed to include the impact of design solutions/technologies on society and will be developed in a team-based environment utilizing visuals, written text, and oral presentation. ENGR 1 and ENGR 1L together fulfill the Science, Technology & Society core requirement.
