3.00 Credits
An examination of basic philosophical issues in religion. The course surveys various conceptions of God, arguments for and against God's existence, the problem of evil, the nature of revelation, religious experience, religious language, conflicting claims of religions, and afterlife. Prerequisite: PHIL 231. Credit, 3 hours. Offered spring semester of even years.
-
6.00 Credits
The course provides directed supervision for individuals engaged in a specific research project in the field of philosophy. The course may be repeated up to a maximum of six hours of credit. Prerequisite: PHIL 231 and PHIL 232. Credit, 1 to 6 hours. Offered as needed.
-
3.00 Credits
This laboratory course illustrates the scientific method through a series of experiments into physical phenomena. As a companion course to PHYS 137 Physical Science, it provides students an opportunity to view science as a process and not just a body of knowledge. This course also provides prospective teachers with a model for the methods and materials of teaching science. This course fulfills the laboratory requirement for certification in Elementary Education (P-5). One and a half laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: PHYS 137 recommended, but not required. Credit, 1 hour. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This introductory course integrates physics, chemistry, and earth sciences to emphasize general principles and their application to real-world situations. As the magnificent order of the physical world is demonstrated, the scientific method is highlighted as a powerful means to discover knowledge that can help us understand and shape our world. Three lectures per week. Prerequisite: None. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This introductory course investigates the observations and theories of astronomy. The success of the scientific method is demonstrated through the logical application of the laws of science to construct an understanding of our universe. A descriptive study of our solar system and Milky Way galaxy is highlighted by observation sessions. Three lectures and one and a half laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: None. Credit, 4 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This algebra-based, introductory course investigates physical phenomena primarily associated with motion, forces, momentum, energy, waves, and thermodynamics. Specific topics are chosen that emphasize the interests of students from physics, chemistry, engineering, medicine, and related fields. Problem solving and the scientific method are stressed throughout the course. Three lectures and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: grade of C or better in MATH 132, MATH 136, or a calculus course. Credit, 4 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This algebra-based, introductory course (a continuation of PHYS 241 Physics I) investigates physical phenomena primarily associated with electricity, magnetism, optics, and quantum physics. Specific topics are chosen that emphasize the interests of students from physics, chemistry, engineering, medicine, and related fields. Problem solving and the scientific method are stressed throughout the course. Three lectures and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: grade of C or better in PHYS 241. Credit, 4 hours. Offered fall and spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This calculus-based, intermediate course provides a thorough quantitative understanding of physical phenomena primarily associated with mechanics and electromagnetism. This course expands upon the course content of PHYS 241 Physics I and PHYS 242 Physics II. Collectively, these three courses are equivalent to thetraditional two-semester, calculus- based physics sequence. Prerequisites: grades of C or better in PHYS 242 and MATH 240. Credit, 3 hours. Offered spring semester.
-
3.00 Credits
This laboratory course provides an experimental component to the undergraduate physics curriculum. Emphasis is placed on experiment design, error analysis, model evaluation, and professional presentations. Six laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: grades of C or better in PHYS 242 and MATH 240. Credit, 3 hours. Offered spring semester of odd years.
-
3.00 Credits
This calculus-based, intermediate course provides a thorough quantitative understanding of physical phenomena associated with quantum theory. Specific topics include light quanta (photons), matter waves, the Schr?dinger equation, the Bohr theory, and hydrogenic atoms. An introduction to relativity is also included. Prerequisites: grades of C or better in PHYS 242 and MATH 241. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall semester.
