1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY 2210 taken in the same semester Lab work includes experiments in electrodynamics, AC circuits, optics, and modern physics. Course fee: $45.00
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY 2200 Students learn the law of thermodynamics and to use properties of matter to describe states of systems and processes involving heat and work. Students apply the basic laws and thermal properties to perform thermal analyses on idealized cycles related to power plants, heat pumps, refrigeration systems, gas turbines, and reciprocating engines. Mixtures and heat transfer mechanisms are also explored. Some sections of this course may be presented in a web-based format.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY 1010 or PHY 1210 Under supervision of a faculty member, students work independently on topics related to physics which are beyond the scope of other physics courses offered by the college. Offered irregularly.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY 1010 or PHY 1020 or PHY 1210 Students study the contributions of pioneers in the physics field such as Gilbert, Newton, Faraday, and Thompson at sites in England where their original work was conducted. This eightday course includes touring original laboratories, Newton's home, Woolsthrope Manor, and the history of science museum in Oxford, as well as a side trip to Greenwich. A log book and paper are required for evaluation. This course is an intensive eight-day study of the development of physics as a science, and requires travel to England. A valid passport, advance deposit, and preregistration are required. Travel costs are separate. Course fee: $40.00
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY 1010, PHY 1020, and PHY 1210 Students study the contributions of the great pioneers of science during the Renaissance such as Leonardo da Pisa (Fibonacci), Leonardo da Vinci, and Galileo at sites in Italy where their original work was conducted. This 10-day course includes touring the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Leonardo da Vinci's birthplace, and the Leonardo Museum in Vinci, the Museum of the History of Science in Florence, the Anatomical Museum in Bologna, the University of Padua, and Galileo's home. A log book of the trip and final paper are required for evaluation. This course is an intensive 10-day study of the development of scientific thought during the Renaissance and requires travel to Italy. A valid passport, advance deposit, and preregistration are required. Travel costs are separate. Course fee: $40.00
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: none This course is an intensive study of the geophysics of the Earth involving international study. Students will study the Earth's structure and its system of dynamic crustal plates by observing first hand its principal tectonic features. After a classroom introduction to plate tectonics and the science of geophysics, students will then travel around the globe to witness the effects of surface expressions on continental drift, continental plate creation and destruction, and the various types of plate boundaries. This course involves circumnavigational travel by air across the Atlantic, by land across Asia from St. Petersburg, Russia to Beijing, China, and then by air across the Pacific back to Maryland. A valid passport, travel visa for Russia and China, and advance travel arrangements are required. Travel costs are separate. Offered in the summer semester.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: none Students examine the functions and problems of state and local governments with illustrations from Maryland jurisdictions.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: none Students examine the major factors underlying international relations, the methods of conducting foreign relations, the foreign policies of the major powers, and the means of avoiding or alleviating international conflicts.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: none Students survey and analyze the leading ideologies of the modern world, including anarchism, communism, socialism, fascism, nationalism, and democracy.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: none Students explore how social policy is made by considering historical and current issues in social policy. Students examine the nature of social policy, how policy is determined, and the role of the various units of government in determining social policy. Students apply their knowledge to current policy issues, exploring the conflicts and compromises that go into social policy decisions. Offered irregularly.
