NS 101 Science of Nature I |
4 Credits |
Science of Nature courses aim to initiate a curiosity
and desire for learning “scientific thinking” in students
and at the same time to introduce some of the basic
concepts of physical, chemical and biological sciences
in connection with questions concerning the universe,
nature and our daily life.
The NS 101 course consists of two modules “(1) Are
we alone in the universe?” and “(2) Is antibiotics
resistance a big threat to the existence of
humankind?” Scientific methodology and fundamental
concepts in the physical, chemical, and biological
sciences are introduced through an integrated
approach in the framework of these questions.
Upon completing NS 101, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate skills for critical thinking,
reasoning and problem solving through
integration of different concepts and information.
2. Distinguish among scientific laws,
hypothesis and theory and use them to
differentiate facts from fiction.
3. Apply mathematical concepts to solve
quantitative problems.
4. Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of the
terminology, major concepts and theories
of one or more fields in physical, chemical,
and biological sciences.
5. Describe the role of science and
technology, and develop skills for
communicating scientific concepts and
facts to society in general.
6. Demonstrate professionalism and ethics
when using scientific approach to make
informed decision in daily life situations.

3 Credits |
Galilean Relativity and its incompatibility with
electrodynamics. Einstein's reformulation of The
Relativity Principle and its consequences such as
frame-dependent simultaneity of events, dilation of
time intervals and contraction of lengths, Lorentz
transformations. The interchangeability of mass and
energy. The equivalence of accelerating frames and
gravitational fields, aspects of General relativity and
Cosmology. The treatment emphasizes physical ideas
rather than mathematics, in particular, no knowledge
of Calculus is needed. A popular-level book from 1916 by
Einstein will be the main text.

NS 201 Discovering Life |
3 Credits |
The objective of this course to give students a broad
and comprehensive background in biology, and thus to
prepare them for entry into biology-oriented programs in the
Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
The course includes an introduction to cell biology,
genetics, structure and function of microbes, animals and
plants. Growth and development of animals and plants
will be covered in more detail. Evolution of plant and
animal diseases as well as the biotechnological applications
will be introduced. The course provides a solid basis for
more advanced studies in all areas modern biology.

People living in urban areas are alienated from nature.
The main goal of this course is to demonstrate plant
cultivation processes to the people who live in the
cities. In this course, agricultural production systems;
basic physiological concepts; plant nutrition
and compost making; irrigation; plant protection;
how small places are transformed into production areas;
post-harvest handling of the produced items until etc.
will be covered. As the course is applied, different
of aspects of urban agriculture will be practiced
by the students at the on-campus garden.

NS 48000 Special Topics in NS: Astrobiology Fundamentals and Contemporary Research Topics |
3 Credits |
This course aims to introduce the fundamental
aspects of astrobiology, which is an
interdisciplinary field of research, searching
primarily for the origin of life on Earth, as
well as searching for any signatures of life
elsewhere. Astrobiology also includes
technological research fields, especially
related to travelling and living in extreme
environments, such as Mars. These
technological developments would also be
beneficial for our well-being on this planet in
