In New Mexico, the state has decided that all college students should be required to take some general education classes. These include 8 credits (2 classes) of Laboratory Science, for which the desired outcomes are:

• Describe the process of scientific inquiry.
• Solve problems scientifically.
• Communicate scientific information.
• Apply quantitative analysis to scientific problems
• Apply scientific thinking to real world problems.
