-
3.00 Credits
Theory and application of the following: Gaussian beams, optical cavities and wave guides, atomic radiation, detection of radiation, laser oscillation, nonlinear optics and ultrafast pulses. Prerequisite: PHGN320. Co-requisite: PHGN462. 3 hours lecture; 3 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
The first of a two semester program covering the full spectrum of project design, drawing on all of the student's previous course work. At the beginning of the first semester, the student selects a research project in consultation with the Senior Design Oversight Committee (SDOC) and the Project Mentor. The objectives of the project are given to the student in broad outline form. The student then designs the entire project, including any or all of the following elements as appropriate: literature search, specialized apparatus or algorithms, block-diagram electronics, computer data acquisition and/or analysis, sample materials, and measurement and/or analysis sequences. The course culminates in a formal interim written report. Prerequisite: PHGN384 and PHGN326. Co-requisite: PHGN471. 6 hour lab; 2.5 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of PHGN481. The course culminates in a formal written report and poster. Prerequisite: PHGN384 and PHGN326. Co-requisite: PHGN472. 6 hour lab; 2.5 semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Pilot course or special topics course. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. Credit to be determined by instructor, maximum of 6 credit hours. Repeatable for credit under different titles.
-
3.00 Credits
Individual research or special problem projects supervised by a faculty member, student and instructor agree on a subject matter, content, deliverables, and credit hours. Prerequisite: "Independent Study" form must be completed and submitted to the Registrar. Variable credit; 1 to 6 credit hours. Repeatable for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course in the CSM core curriculum articulates with LAIS100: Nature and Human Values and with the other systems courses. Human Systems is an interdisciplinary historical examination of key systems created by humans - namely, political, economic, social, and cultural institutions - as they have evolved worldwide from the inception of the modern era (ca. 1500) to the present. This course embodies an elaboration of these human systems as introduced in their environmental context in Nature and Human Values and will reference themes and issues explored therein. It also demonstrates the cross-disciplinary applicability of the "systems" concept. Assignmentswill give students continued practice in writing. Prerequisite: LAIS100. 3 semester hours.
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to Engineered Earth Systems. Aspects of appropriate earth systems and engineering practices in geological, geophysical, mining and petroleum engineering. Emphasis on complex interactions and feedback loops within and among natural and engineered systems. A case histories format provides an introduction to earth engineering fields. 2 hours lecture/seminar, 3 hours lab; 3 semester hours.
