-
3.00 Credits
Credit 3 hours. Prerequisites: Junior standing or permission of the Department Head. A study of the major development in American philosophy through a detailed consideration of American thinkers.
-
3.00 Credits
Credit 3 hours. Prerequisites: Junior standing or consent of the Department Head required. A study of the intellectual influences on western thought since the Middle Ages, beginning with Renaissance Humanism and proceeding through Protestantism, Rationalism, the Enlightenment and Romanticism to the dominant scientific and political views of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
-
3.00 Credits
Credit 3 hours. Prerequisites: Junior standing, permission of the Department Head, and at least nine hours of undergraduate philosophy. Conducted as a tutorial for individual students seeking additional work beyond the introductory level. Readings chosen according to student interest, academic orientation, and level of student preparedness. Evaluations conducted on the basis of discussions and written assignments.
-
4.00 Credits
Credit 4 hours. Prerequisites: Prior credit for Mathematics 155 or 161. A survey course in selected topics of physical science designed for non-science majors. This course may not be used to satisfy the General Education sequence requirement in the Natural Sciences. Course consists of four hours of lecture and demonstrations a week.
-
4.00 Credits
Credit 4 hours. Prerequisites: Education major, inservice teacher, or permission of the Department Head. This course is designed to prepare prospective and inservice K-12 teachers to teach physical science as a process of inquiry. The curriculum focuses on core concepts of physics and chemistry, and students will actively engage in a process of hands-on investigation and discovery in a laboratory setting. The primary objective is to provide a student-centered, active-learning environment that promotes critical thinking, collaborative learning, and an understanding and appreciation of the processes of scientific investigations. Five hours of integrated lecture and laboratory per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Credit 3 hours. Prerequisites: PHYS 622 or CHEM 622. A course designed to address introductory level topics in physical science with high performance computational modeling. Three major themes will guide the course: helping students clearly understand the tools and techniques of computational science to better understand how they are used in both modern research and teaching; providing students with an opportunity to deepen their content knowledge in a manner very different than traditional education in physical science, and providing students with alternate strategies that enable them to more effectively teach conceptual topics in physical science. Numerical modeling, systems dynamics modeling, agent modeling, and molecular modeling software tools and techniques will be used for a variety of physics and chemistry topics.
-
3.00 Credits
Credit 3 hours. Prerequisites: PHYS 621/622 or CHEM 621/622 and PHSC 631. A graduate-level capstone course that explores the elements of research-based curriculum design and their application for physical science. The three themes of the course include: identifying the key elements of research-based curricula, investigating and evaluating the application of these elements in the existing pool of research-based curricula for physical science, and the application of these elements toward the creation of original lessons and curriculum units for physical science. Key elements that will be surveyed include how people learn, teaching for understanding, assessment and its role in "backwards design", as well asthe role of content standards, inquiry, nature of science, instructional models, technology, and various pedagogical structures (i.e. cooperative learning, questioning, science talk) in curriculum design.
-
3.00 Credits
Credit 3 hours. Prerequisites: Mathematics 155 or 161, or Math ACT score of 20 or higher. The fundamentals of sound, waves and related phenomena for music majors. Three hours of lecture per week.
-
3.00 Credits
Credit 3 hours. Prerequisite: Registration for or prior credit for Physic 123. A course emphasizing circuit design with modern integrated circuit chips.
-
1.00 Credits
Credit 1 hour. Prerequisite: Registration for or prior credit for Physics 121. A laboratory course involving the construction of radios, digital counters, clocks, frequency meters and other devices for electronic measurement and control.
