3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Theories of the formation of the universe, its structure and evolution over time. Stars, planets, and galaxies are born and change over the years; supernovae, neutron stars, pulsars, black holes, quasars, and solar systems are formed. Usually offered every term. Prerequisite for General Education credit: CHEM-100 or CHEM-110 or PHYS-100 or PHYS-105 or PHYS-110.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Study of science as a tradition that shaped and was shaped by the Western world. This is a course about science--how scientific thought, practice, and culture developed. It explores changing concepts in the physical sciences from their earliest roots to modern times, and discusses the interaction between the physical sciences and other aspects of society. Usually offered every fall. Prerequisite for General Education credit: GOVT-105 or HIST-115 or JLS-110 or PHIL-105 or RELG-105.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Topics vary by section, may be repeated for credit with different topic.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Properties of sound, speech and music, reflection and diffraction. Open-air theaters, sound-absorptive materials and special constructions, and principles of room acoustics and design. Noise control, reduction of air-borne and solid-borne noise, and control of noise in ventilating systems, sound-amplification systems, and auditoriums. Usually offered alternate falls. Prerequisite: PHYS-200, PHYS-205, or PHYS-210.
-
3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate Fundamentals of basic analog electronic components and circuits. Components examined include: resistors, capacitors, inductors, rectifiers, transformers, triodes, and transistors. Quantities examined include: voltage, resistance, current, inductance, capacitance, reactance, and impedance. Circuit analysis involves application of Ohm146s Law and Kirchhoff146s rules. Circuits include: DC, AC, tuned, rectifier, and simple amplifying circuits. Usually offered every fall. Prerequisite: PHYS-200, PHYS-205, or PHYS-210.
-
