Students study properties of motion (position, velocity, acceleration, etc.). This course is for students accepted to the university into the special START Program. (Formerly STR 130, spring semester.)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to astronomy that describes the advancement of astronomical knowledge and surveys the contents, properties, and physical processes of the universe. Simple mathematics will be used. Evening observing sessions at the UMass Dartmouth Observatory will be offered. The course is designed for non-science majors.
-
3.00 Credits
Interaction of science and technology with the individual and contemporary society. Topics include forensic physics, including how science and technology are used in today’s judicial system.
-
3.00 Credits
This course studies current environmental issues and their relations to technological choices. For example, air and water quality are examined in relation to the use of various renewable and non-renewable energy resources. The course is non-mathematical and satisfies 3 credits of the Natural Science requirement.
