JAN 111 - Hands-on STEM Exploration for the Science Inspired

Instructor(s):  Pesavento, Jim
Email:  jjp6@stmarys-ca.edu

This course is intended for first-year students who are inspired by science, yet are currently undecided as to whether a STEM major is right for them. This class aims to highlight the relevance of introductory course content, provide hands-on (in-person) experience, and see the interconnectedness of the STEM disciplines. For instance, topics and hands-on laboratory experiments draw from biology, mathematics, biochemistry and earth and environmental science. With input from the class, the course instructors will facilitate the generation of a hypothesis from a research project in the aforementioned fields, design a set of experiments that attempts to answer the hypothesis, and then analyze the data collected from each experiment.
