BIO 100: The Living World

Overview The Living World is an introductory biology course centered on the authenc, compelling queson of how to find life in the universe. As students invesgate the possibilies, they learn everything included in a standard first year biology curricula. About this course Can we find life elsewhere in the Universe? This is one of the big quesons at the forefront of scienfic endeavor. It compels us to explore our celesal neighborhood, searching for signs of life in the Solar System and Earth-like planets beyond. In The Living World, you will learn about the search for life as you master concepts in general biology, including key aspects of: biodiversity; evoluon; cellular biology; molecular biology; ecology; and human anatomy and physiology. Required prior knowledge and skills To be successful in this course, we recommend English language fluency and computer literacy. Learning Outcomes The learning objecves for this course are organized around the five core principles idenfied in the 2009 AAAS document Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Educaon. Those five principles are:

1. Evoluon : The diversity of life changed and diversified over me by processes of mutaon, selecon, and isolaon.
2. Structure and Funcon : Basic units of structure establish the funcon of all living things.
3. Informaon Flow, Exchange, and Storage : The macro and microscopic features of organisms result from the expression of genec informaon in context.
4. Pathways of Energy and Maer : Biological systems are built and maintained by chemical transformaon pathways that are governed by the laws of thermodynamics.
5. Biological Systems : Living systems are interconnected and interacng. In addion, we’ve added a sixth principle of our designaon:
6. Nature of Science : Science proceeds by developing and tesng explanaons for paerns observed in nature.

Addional Info Course format The Living World is an innovave course with a format different from most online courses. It is built around interacve acvies with rich adapve feedback. These are not videos or simple readings and quizzes. Usually they are problem-solving acvies through which you will be introduced to key concepts, and master them, in a queson-driven "learn-by-doing" approach. Oen they will be designed around game-like simulaons that you can manipulate, or virtual field trips that you can explore. In some ways, these acvies can feel like a serious game! That's not an accident: That's in fact how the pursuit of science feels to professional sciensts. Credit Designaon This course sasfies 4 credit hours, including lab credit, toward the Natural Sciences (SQ) General Studies requirement at Arizona State University. It is strongly encouraged that you consult with your instuon of choice to determine how these credits will be applied to their degree requirements prior to transferring the credit.

CHM 114: General Chemistry for

Engineers

Overview In this online chemistry for engineers course, you’ll learn how atoms and molecules act and interact to make the modern materials that underpin technology and solve engineering challenges. About this course Have you ever wondered what’s inside your mobile phone case? Why baeries aren’t lighter and have to be recharged? How different colors can be shown on your computer screen? Or why glass shaers when you hit it with a hammer? These, along with other quesons of how atoms and molecules combine to make macroscopic materials with desired properes, are at the heart of countless challenges addressed by chemists and engineers every day. This course is not a standard introductory chemistry course. In this course, you will learn by doing, and you will be helped along the way with instant visual and audio feedback. You will simultaneously learn the language of chemistry and how to think like a chemist by exploring the chemistry embedded in four key engineering challenges: ● Why don't we build everything out of glass? ● What are the fuels of the future? ● Can baery technology solve the energy crisis? ● How will modern materials shape tomorrow? The course introduces general chemistry topics and explains directly how these concepts are related to engineering. You will develop the language and chemistry skills necessary to work as an engineer in a team with chemists. Required prior knowledge and skills To be successful in this course, we recommend English language fluency and computer literacy. To be adequately prepared for the mathemacs required in this course, a recommended prerequisite course is MAT 170 Calculus. The prerequisite course should be taken first to ensure that the course credits will transfer to your instuon, including ASU. Learning Outcomes You will learn: ● To solve engineering challenges using tools from chemistry ● To apply molecular ideas to understanding the properes of materials and funconality of modern devices ● To predict chemical and physical properes from molecular or material structures ● To evaluate suitability of chemicals and materials for applicaons like baeries or fuel cells based on chemical and physical properes

CIS 105: Computer Applicaons and

Informaon Technology

Overview This course is an introductory course with a dual focus: one focus on organizaons and another focus on the individuals who work for them. At the individual level, we will examine how business decision making can be improved when supporng technologies like spreadsheets are leveraged. From the organizaonal perspecve, we will cover strategic analysis frameworks and business strategies that can be fine-tuned for compeon in an increasingly digitally transformed world. About this course Humans are inherently limited in how they might approach problem solving because of the cognive biases we all bring to decision situaons. Understanding these biases and how to confront them using the spreadsheet modeling knowledge gained in this class will change the way you face and solve problems. We will cover praccal decisions you will deal with in many different personal and professional business sengs. You will build models in spreadsheet soware that serve to help you analyze problem situaons in a completely new light. Organizaons are undergoing major upheaval as required digital transformaons are impacng everything from how customers pay for goods and services to how we interact with each other in an increasingly digital world. All areas of business are undergoing rapid change, and this change will connue throughout your lifeme. This course will provide you with strategic frameworks to help you understand digital transformaon and how today’s companies are and will change in order to remain compeve. You will learn to analyze industries and the companies in them with an eye towards strategic prospects and potenal setbacks. You’ll learn new ways to think about businesses using advanced digital transformaon strategic lenses that let you peer into industry rivalry, supplier and customer power and other important determinants. Aer this course, you will look at businesses and how they compete in an enrely new way. As a first course in business, you will be immersed in a world where some jobs are being eliminated and new ones are being added in a process known as creave destrucon. Just around the corner for the world economy will be the emergence of arficial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI will disrupt industries and will require major strategic change in established companies. It will also provide opportunies for new business ideas and entrepreneurship. The dual focus in this course – on individuals and organizaons – will provide you with the background needed to make important decisions about choosing a possible career in business and/or informaon systems. Required prior knowledge and skills To be successful in this course, we recommend English language fluency and computer literacy.
