Special topics in bioastronautics is a project-based course that immerses students in real-world challenges in bioastronautics. This term, students will contribute to research initiatives stemming from UATX’s partnership with the Space Exploration and Research Agency (SERA). Through hands-on experience, they will design and prototype spaceflight-ready plasticware for molecular biology experiments using 3D printing and submit their designs in the SERA Fluid Dynamics Competition. Additionally, students will explore the fundamentals of cell culture in spaceflight environments, gaining critical skills for conducting biological research beyond Earth.

The first of a two-course sequence in quantitative reasoning. Topics include interpretation of graphical information, functional notation, patterns, mathematical problem formulation. Throughout the course examples are drawn from a variety of fields including physics, biology, and economics, with particular emphasis on the laws of nature and analogies among them.

This course is the first part of a two-course sequence designed to explore and understand some of the most important ideas in science. This first course introduces students to a framework for scientific thinking and investigates key ideas in physical and earth sciences. Emphasis is placed on applications and interdisciplinary connections across areas of study in the course sequence.

The second of a two-course sequence in quantitative reasoning. Topics include quantifying uncertainty, estimation techniques and applications. Throughout the course examples are drawn from a variety of fields including physics, biology, and economics, with particular emphasis on the laws of nature and analogies among them.
