4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Traces the development of technology, provides insight into the fundamentals of modern science and technology, emphasizes the synergy between the two, and provides practical experience in dealing with real systems and devices found in daily life. Weekly laboratory. Designed for nonmajors. Goldberg.
-
3.00 Credits
4 or 8 sem. hrs. Prereq.: Secondary school algebra. (PHYS 110 is prereq. to PHYS 111.) Teaches the fundamentals of physics for students with preparation in algebra and trigonometry. Topics drawn from mechanics, electricity and magnetism, heat, waves, sound, optics, and modern physics. Weekly three-hour laboratory and onehour interactive problem-solving session. Staff.
-
3.00 Credits
4 or 8 sem. hrs. (PHYS 112 is prereq. to PHYS 113.) Concentrates on the subjects of mechanics, electricity, and magnetism and on the concepts of particle and field, motion, mass, force, energy, and momentum. Additional material drawn from kinetic theory, heat, and thermodynamics. First course in physics for science majors. Weekly threehour laboratory and one-hour interactive problemsolving session. Goldberg, Kaplan.
-
2.00 Credits
2 sem. hrs. Largely through experimentation, examines some of the ways in which one characterizes and/or measures a material's mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, optical, and electrical properties. Also investigates the way in which processing conditions may influence properties and how this information can be used to construct useful devices. Chen.
-
2.00 Credits
2 sem. hrs. Focuses on the theories that explain mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, optical, and electrical properties. Examples include theories related to atomic structure and interatomic bonding, imperfections in solids, diffusion, stress/strain and elastic properties, phase transformations conductivity, magnetic interactions, and optical absorption and luminescence. Introduces X-ray diffraction and molecular modeling through laboratory experiments and simulations. Soltzberg.
-
4.00 Credits
4 sem. hrs. Prereq.: PHYS 112/113. Focuses on wave properties common to both optics and acoustics and then extends these topics to introduce key ideas in modern physics. Rounds out a general background in physics and is recommended, along with PHYS 112/113, for preparation for the MCAT exam. Kaplan.
-
2.00 Credits
2 sem. hrs. Intended for science majors or physics of materials minors who would like to learn to use an electron microscope and an atomic force microscope to study surface morphology. (Requests to use these microscopes for independent research may be made to the Department of Physics after successful completion of this course. Open to non-science majors.) Goldberg.
-
2.00 Credits
2 sem. hrs. Provides a hands-on introduction to the use of computer methods for discovery and assessment of novel materials. Teaches the use of a variety of molecular and materials modeling software and presents the principles, benefits, and pitfalls associated with this approach to the study of materials. Emphasizes modeling projects and genuine research applications of computer modeling. Soltzberg.
-
2.00 Credits
2 sem. hrs. Prereq. PHYS 112/113. Introduces the microscopic physics of the properties of materials. Basis for discussion includes fundamental concepts of the localized and delocalized (collectivized) electrons. Discusses traditional solid state topics, as well as modern phenomena such as high-temperature superconductivity, ferroelasticity, and colossal magnetoresistance. Kaplan.
-
4.00 Credits
4 sem.hrs. Prereq.: PHYS 201 and MATH 220. Examines the fundamental principles of Newtonian mechanics; the conservation laws, the dynamics of a particle, including oscillations and central force motion; and the dynamics of a system of particles. Includes laboratory work. Goldberg.
