3.00 Credits
An introductory study of traditional and contemporary philosophies and an analysis of how their ideas apply to living today. Students in the course explore such issues as: the meaning and purpose of life, the nature of religious belief, the justification of moral values, and the meaning of human freedom. Prerequisite: Eligible for ENG 101 (EN 1103). General Education Electives: Humanities Intensive Values: Multicultural/Global Awareness; Written Communication

3.00 Credits
A descriptive course designed to introduce students to solar system and deep space phenomena. Extensive use is made of hands-on activities to aid in understanding the relationship of the earth to the sun, moon, and other planets, along with tides, time, and eclipses. Emphasis is placed upon gaining insights into the size and scale of the solar system, galaxy, and cosmos. Additional topics include stellar evolution, dynamics of the milky way and other galaxies, the search for extraterrestrial life, and cosmology. Nighttime sky viewing is included, with and without the telescope. Prerequisite: MAT 060 (MA 1101) and eligibility for ENG 101 (EN 1103) and ENG 060 (EN 2103). Recommendation: Concurrent enrollment in ENG 075 (EN 2122) or ENG 085 (EN 2131) if CPT reading placement test is between 68 and 75. General Education Electives: Science 135
-
3.00 Credits
Designed for students in the technologies. Topics include measurement and metric system, Newtonian mechanics, states of matter, waves and propagation of light. Problem solving sessions reinforce student knowledge. Class demonstrations accompany lectures on many topics. Prerequisite: TMA 095 (MA 3108) or MAT 080 (MA 1104) General Education Elective: Science
-
3.00 Credits
Designed for CSNT students. The physics of data transfer via various media is emphasized. Topics include vectors, motion, force, work and energy, wave motion, light, diffraction, polarization, reflection, refraction, and propagation properties of various media (e.g., wire, cable, fiber, free space). Employability skills, such as problem solving, teamwork, communication, and others are practiced. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in NST 101 (CN 1101), NST 111 (CN 1111) and TMA 096 (MA 3109) General Education Electives: Science
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the physical laws and principles inherent in the study of mechanics, wave mechanics, lights and optics electricity and magnetism, and time permitting, modern physics. There will be an emphasis placed on the following topics: vibrations and waves, electricity and magnetism, and wave optics. Dimensional analysis and problem solving will be stressed. Laboratory lessons for this course are computer simulations. Prerequisite: TMA 096 (MA 3109)

3.00 Credits
This course focuses on how psychology can help us meet the demands and challenges of living in a complex society. Topics such as theories of personality and motivation, personal growth and adjustment, interpersonal relationships and decision making and values will be explored. This course is hands-on, stresses learning by doing and will integrate learning strategies, study skills and information on college resources that contribute to college success. Specifically designed for students who have had minimal previous experience with behavioral science, not for those who have completed PSY 101 (SO 5101), Introduction to Psychology. Prerequisites: Placement above or successful completion of ENG 065 (EN 1100) and ENG 050 (EN 2101). Students placing above or who have successfully completed ENG 071 (EN 1101) and whose CPT is above 67 are not eligible to enroll in this course. Recommendation: Concurrent enrollment in ENG 071 (EN 1101) and/or ENG 055 (EN 2102), if CPT is between 44 and 55, is encouraged. General Education Elective: Behavioral Science Intensive Value: Technology/Environment/Health
