4.00 Credits
4 hours A year-long independent research project. Applications are completed on the "Honors Program" formavailable at the registrar's office, requiring the signatures of a faculty supervisor, the department head, the honors program director, and the registrar. Interdisciplinary projects require the signatures of two faculty supervisors. The project must be completed by the due date for senior projects. The completed project is evaluated by a review committee consisting of the faculty supervisor, another faculty member from the major department, and a faculty member from outside the major department. All projects must be presented publicly. Only projects awarded an "A" or "A-" qualifor "department honors" designation. The honorsproject fulfills the all-college senior project requirement.

4 hours The unifying theme of energy molds the study of the physical concepts of motion, gravitation, electromagnetism, heat, radiation, and nuclear physics. Solar, wind, nuclear, tidal, hydroelectric, and thermal electric energy conversion processes are also included. This course is intended for the general student with no special background in mathematics or science. (Same as ENVS and SCI 112.) (NWL)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours Intended for the student who has a special interest in the acoustical phenomena associated with music, speech, and psychology. The physical basis of sound, its production and detection, with applications to speech, hearing, music, and acoustics of musical instruments and buildings. No special background in mathematics is assumed. (NWL)

4.00 Credits
4, 4 hours An investigation of the important principles of physics, including recent developments. Designed for the arts major as well as students majoring in one of the sciences. This course meets the basic requirements in physics for preprofessional students in health related fields, including medicine. Topics include mechanics, energy, fluids, heat, wave motion, electricity and magnetism, light and optics, and nuclear physics. Although this is a non-calculus course, the foundation of physics is mathematical modeling of the physical world. Thus, a basic working knowledge of algebra and trigonometry is assumed and will be further developed as the course proceeds. Graphical and statistical analysis is employed throughout the laboratory component. A student may not receive credit for both PHYS 151 and PHYS 181, nor for both PHYS 152 and PHYS 182. Prerequisite for PHYS 152: PHYS 151 or PHYS 181 or consent of instructor. (NWL, Quant)

4.00 Credits
4 hours An introduction to the ideas of physics. Topics include Newtonian mechanics, energy, work, oscillations, and fluid dynamics. The laboratory work focuses on measurement and observation to enhance conceptual understanding of the material. The laboratory component is integral to the curriculum and is not offered as a separate course. Physics 181 is the first of a four-semester sequence of courses designed for physics and pre-engineering students. Physics 181 and 182 are also appropriate for students majoring in other physical sciences. Pre-/corequisite: mathematics 151. (NWL)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours This course continues the discussion of physical ideas begun in Physics 181. Topics include optics, electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic waves, and electric circuits. The laboratory work focuses on measurement and observation to enhance conceptual understanding of the material. Prerequisite: 181 or 151. Pre- /corequisite: mathematics 152. (NWL)
