SCI 3365 - Principles of Applied Science

3 Credit Hour(s)

In this course, we will learn the scientific method, and how it applies investigations in science and engineering. Students will learn how to ask well defined questions, propose hypotheses, test hypotheses, and learn on what basis one rejects or accepts a hypothesis. We will go on to see how these methods are applied in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Finally, we will also see how misapplications of the scientific method leads to questionable pseudoscience.
