9.00 Credits
Politics majors work full-time as interns in a variety of public and private sector positions in the nation's capital, giving them the opportunity to experience governmental problems firsthand and apply what they have learned.Students earn nine credits for working as an intern, three for a course taken in Washington, D.C., and three credits for a major research paper.(Prerequisites: 3.0 GPA, completion of PO 11 and two additional politics courses, and departmental approval) 15 credits.
-
10.00 - 12.00 Credits
Politics majors gain firsthand experience working off campus in fields related to their major.Typically, an internship requires 10 to 12 hours per week on site.The internship requires a journal and a term paper.An on-site supervisor and a politics professor evaluate student work.(Prerequisites: 3.0 GPA, completion of three politics courses, and departmental approval) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
At the beginning of the 21st century, the affairs of the Middle East continue to engage a great deal of international attention.This course offers the opportunity to examine a significant problem or issue concerning politics in the Middle East conducted in a seminar format.In various semesters the seminar may be taught with a different focus.(Prerequisite: PO 144 or permission of the professor) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This seminar analyzes the role of traditional Vietnamese culture in Vietnam's many wars: with China for 1,000 years, with France from 1946 to 1954, with America from 1962 to 1973, and with Cambodia after 1975.Much of the seminar focuses on America's war with Vietnam and the impact of American society on that war.The course also analyzes the effect of the events of 1962 to 1973 on America and on those who fought in that conflic t.This course meets the world diversity requirement. (Prerequisite: PO 146 or permission of the instructor) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Upon request and by agreement with an individual professor in the department, a politics major may conduct a one-semester independent study on a defined research topic or field of study.(Prerequisites: 3.0 GPA, completion of PO 11, two additional politics courses, and departmental approval) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
The fundamentals of geometric and physical optics are covered with an introduction to wave motion and the basic tenets of electromagnetic radiation necessary to support the laws of reflection, refraction, and interference effects.Reflective and refractive, single and double element imaging is included.The principle of superposition is used to introduce various interference phenomena including diffraction effects.The fundamentals of fiber optics, lasers, and active optical devices are also covered.The course is designed for non-physics major science and engineering students and is accompanied by PS 122L.Three credits.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory companion to PS122, the course includes a variety of experiments to complement PS 122 lectures.Experiments in imaging, diffraction, and interference are included.One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This introductory course - for students concentrating in physics, mathematics, chemistry, or engineering - covers mechanics, heat, and fluid dynamics.It also includes rigorous mathematical derivations using integral and differential calculus.Topics include velocity and acceleration, Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, power momentum, torque, vibratory motion, elastic properties of solids, fluids at rest and in motion, properties of gases, measurement and transfer of heat, and elementary thermodynamics.Three credits
-
1.00 Credits
This lab course engages students in experimental measurements spanning the areas of mechanics and thermal stresses on matter, with the objective of training students in experimental measurements, data manipulation and analysis, error analysis, deductive thinking, and instrumentation, providing depth to students' understanding of the phenomena taught in PS 15.Specific experimental measurements include accelerated motion, periodic motion, gravitational force, ballistics, conservation of energy and momentum, rotational dynamics, and measurements of the coefficient of linear expansion and the heat of fusion.Students complete a weekly lab report.One credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This continuation of PS 15 covers electricity and magnetism, light and optics, and sound.Topics include magnetism and electricity; simple electric circuits; electrical instruments; generators and motors; characteristics of wave motion; light and illumination; reflection; refraction, interference; polarization of light, color, and the spectrum; and production and detection of sound waves.Three credits.
