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.

NS 200 Einstein's Relativity 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 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 the future. This course will not only introduce the current knowledge of the origin and evolution of life on Earth, and also provide up-to-date information about searching life forms outside Earth. The course will also include a term project in groups related to astrobiological research.
