4.00 Credits
The study of fundamental scientific principles through their application to everyday weather events. The course covers properties of the atmosphere, the interactions between the atmosphere and other components of the Earth system, and the principles that govern weather and climate i.e. topics treated in most weather and climate courses but it is delivered in a sequence that builds on investigations in real time through the use of the latest weather data, maps, forecasts, and satellite and radar imagery delivered via the Internet. The course is designed to fulfil general education physical science requirement, to transfer to other institution, and to increase your appreciation of the beauty and power of weather phenomena. Two lectures and two 1.5-hour laboratories per week. (Fall Semester, even years)
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory course providing the background on physical, chemical, geological, and biological foundations of oceanography, which helps the student to understand major contemporary environmental issues, such as climate change and pollution. The course is based on the use of real-time ocean data and investigations and utilizes information age technology. The class includes a Sunday fieldtrip (on boat) to the Chesapeake Bay. This course satisfies the General Education requirements for science. Two lectures and two 1.5- hour laboratories per week. (Fall Semester, odd years)

44.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 126 with at least a grade of "C" and CPTR 105 with at least a grade of "C?HYS 272: Prerequisite: MATH 126 and PHYS 271. This course assumes a prior knowledge of secondary level physics. Topics include methods of physics, elementary mathematics, mechanics of matter and waves, kinetic theory of fluids; electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic phenomena; atomic nature of matter and the nucleus together with radiation; optics and vision, sound and hearing, and other biological implications of physics. Attention is given to the needs of the biological and premedical scientists. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. (Fall Semester; Spring Semester)
-
44.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MATH 151 with at least a "C" grade and CPTR 105 with at least a grade of "C?orequisites: MATH 252 with PHYS 281 and MATH 260 with PHYS 282 maintaining at least "C"standing. PHYS 282: Prerequisite: PHYS 281. This course is designed for those students who have had physics at the secondary level and assumes a working knowledge of calculus. Topics include vectors, mechanics of systems of particles, energy, harmonic motion, electro/magneto dynamics, and modern physics. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. (Fall Semester; Spring Semester)
