    Genetics and Food: From Molecule to Medicine

    • In Person/On Campus

    Have you ever wondered how biomolecules or chemical compounds contained in food affect our genes? Why each of us perceives the taste of foods differentely or how certain nutrients influence human health on a molecular level? This course explores the fascinating correlation between food, the human genome and the potential application of food science in medicine, in an interdisciplinary manner.

    Students are introduced to fundamental concepts of food biochemistry and investigate the influence of nutrition in gene expression. Through the study of basic biological and pharmacological principles, they examine the crucial role of food science and technology in combating inflammations and serious diseases. Gene regulation, nutrigenomics and the study of novel edible materials with application in medicine are some of the key concepts of the exciting world which bridges food and medicine! Students also gain hands-on experience with laboratory techniques, involving gel electrophoresis, synthesis of polymeric materials for personalized medicine, and various biochemical assays (e.g. DNA extraction).

    Learning Objectives:
    • Study of the structure of nutrients and their impact on human body function.
    • Investigate the bioactivity of nutrients and its application in treatment of various diseases.
    • Practice laboratory techniques used in biosciences and food industry.
    • Develop and communicate cutting-edge projects through poster and oral presentations.

    Introduction to Biomedical Sciences

    • In Person/On Campus

    Which organ has over 400 functions? Are there liquid tissues in the human body? What factors contribute to the development of cancer? Much like Leonardo da Vinci’s fascination with human anatomy, our course delves into these intriguing questions! Drawing upon fundamental biological and chemical concepts, students explore the intricate anatomical and physiological mechanisms that govern normal human function, as an introduction to human biology and the science of medicine. Students learn about the human body’s different systems, including the digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, excretory, nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, highlighting their interconnectedness. Laboratory activities encompass histology, anatomy and physiology (including dissections) and biochemistry techniques. Students also learn practical skills, such as suturing, and dive into group work, solving epidemiology mysteries and investigating the causes and cures for different diseases.

    Learning Objectives

    • Model the interrelatedness of three human body systems working together to maintain homeostasis. 
    • Demonstrate the skills and tools to complete scientific dissections.
    • Select, review and report on a disease or syndrome that impacts one human body system, including its causes, manifestation, symptoms and treatment methods.

    Numbers: Zero to Infinity

    • In Person/On Campus

    How can you calculate the height of my school? How can I design a map? How many ingredients will I need to make cookies for 7 people? Or maybe for 97? How tall is a person that is 5 feet tall? Students explore numbers, from the very small to the unimaginably large, and learn how numeric representations help to explain natural phenomena such as time, distance, and temperature.  Moving beyond traditional arithmetic, this course centers on hands-on activities that develop understanding of the scope and scale of numbers.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Explain, classify, and operate on different types of numbers, ranging from very small to very large numbers.
    • Solve problems and justify real-world solutions involving decimals, exponents, negative numbers, proportions, and ratios.
    • Utilize various measurement tools and techniques.
    • Apply strategies of rounding, estimating, and mental calculations to solve real-world problems.
    • Share and articulate ideas and solutions to problems, both written and orally, independently and in groups.

    Our Beautiful Mind

    • In Person/On Campus

    Can cats actually see in the dark? Do snakes really smell with their tongues? What sense is associated most with memory? How do optical illusions “trick” the brain?

    During this course, students discover the 5 senses and explore the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and the sensory organs. They’ll learn about sensory abilities that humans don’t have, like magnetoreception and sonar navigation, and discuss how the brain’s perception mechanisms turn sensory information into an organism’s experience of its surroundings.

    By employing the scientific method, students work together to answer fascinating questions related to sensation, perception, and the brain.

    Learning objectives:

    • Learn how physical and chemical signals from the environment are translated into neural impulses in the body.
    • Understand the use of models in biology and how these are like and unlike what they represent, and create biological models for the key parts of the sensory systems of the body.
    • Comprehend the journey of information through the body from the sensation of an external stimulus all the way to the perception of it in the brain.
    • Use the scientific method to investigate questions related to the body’s use of the five senses and design an experiment from beginning to end.

    Principles of Engineering Design

    • In Person/On Campus

    What is the difference between science and engineering? What are the techniques that must be applied for successfully tackling any engineering challenge, from designing and building a bed-side table to conceptualizing and sending a shuttle to space? How can a group of engineers efficiently compartmentalize a multi-system project, allocate tasks and optimize the budget provided to solve a multifaceted constructional problem? This course explores a range of topics from physics and science and bridges the gap between pure theoretical knowledge and its practical application. Through daily doses of lectures, class discussions, problem-solving and plentiful hands-on lab activities, the students will be exposed to an array of concepts, varying from Newtonian dynamics and circuitry to fluid dynamics and thermal physics and through their application, complete engineering tasks of progressively increasing complexity.
