MICR 100 - Microbes and Society (3 units) CO4L Covers the role of microbes in our daily lives. Includes the role of microbes in the environment, food production, biotechnology and health as well as the positive and negative effects of microbes. Four laboratory experiences required.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 120 or co-requisite. Co-requisite: MATH 126 or higher.
Grading Basis: Graded Units of Lecture: 3 Offered: Every Fall and Spring
Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. identify the structural characteristics of the major groups of microorganisms and outlining the diversity of microbial life. 2. discuss the mechanisms of microbial growth and contrasting the methods used to control the growth of microorganisms. 3. demonstrate how microorganisms are used in genetic engineering and biotechnology. 4. identify foods that owe their existence to microbes and contrasting the role of microorganisms in food production and spoilage. 5. outline how microbes are used in sanitation and waste removal, bioremediation, pollution, and water treatment. 6. state the role of microorganisms in natural cycles and evaluating the role of microorganisms in health and disease. 7. distinguish between specific and nonspecific forms of disease resistance in host organisms. 8. perform basic microbiological laboratory techniques to generate and analyze data.

MICR 496 - Senior Thesis I (3 units) Original directed research in microbiology and immunology or related field culminating in an oral presentation and written thesis outline. Limited to Molecular Microbiology and Immunology majors.
Prerequisite(s); MICR 300; MICR 350; MICR 490 at least 3 units; Senior Standing; Honors program; Molecular Microbiology and Immunology major with at least a 3.0 GPA in the major; instructor/department permission.
NOTE: This course is designed for students completing a B.S. majoring in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology that are enrolled in the Honors program. A research project for a senior thesis will take at least two semesters to complete, therefore, this course will be followed by MICR 497 Senior Thesis II.
Grading Basis: Graded Units of Independent Study: 3 Offered: Every Fall, Spring, and Summer
Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. apply their cumulative theoretical and practical knowledge related to microbiology and immunology to articulate an original research question to pursue in a research project. 2. design a research project using the technology and tools available to them that includes a testable hypothesis and appropriate experimental objectives. 3. demonstrate critical thinking and research skills relevant to their chosen topic, including the recording of data and/or findings. 4. articulate verbally or in writing an understanding of their research area.

MICR 497 - Senior Thesis II (3 units) Continuation of independent research project initiated in MICR 496. Original directed research in microbiology and immunology or related field culminating in an oral presentation and written thesis. Limited to Molecular Microbiology and Immunology majors.
Prerequisite(s): MICR 496; Senior Standing; Honors program; Molecular Microbiology and Immunology major with at least a 3.0 GPA in the major; instructor/department permission.
NOTE: This course is designed for students completing a B.S. majoring in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology that are enrolled in the Honors program.
Grading Basis: Graded Units of Independent Study: 3 Offered: Every Fall, Spring, and Summer
Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. apply their cumulative theoretical and practical knowledge related to microbiology and immunology to engage in an ongoing original research project. 2. design a research project that includes a testable hypothesis and appropriate experimental objectives by completing a project or structured experience of practical significance. 3. demonstrate an ability to work independently under the supervision of a faculty member in a research environment. 4. communicate the results of senior thesis research orally and in written format appropriate for microbiological and immunological research.
