V The Science Department hopes to be able to expose and interest students in the broad field that is covered by the term science. While we are limited with what We can cover in the courses we presently have, we try to show practical uses to go along with the theory that is covered in class. In the future we would like to be able to intro- duce a greater variety of elective courses than what is offered now.
