3.00 Credits
Temperature and the zeroth law, heat, work and energy, the three laws of thermodynamics, and applications. Emphasis is on entropy and its applications: the thermodynamic potentials, aspects of kinetic theory, and Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics. Prerequisites: Grade C or higher in PHYS 242 or permission of instructor. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
Analytical treatment of Newton's laws in kinematics and dynamics, oscillations, non-inertial reference systems, gravitation and central forces, mechanics, and motion of rigid bodies. Lagrangian mechanics. Prerequisite: Grade C or higher in PHYS 242 or permission of instructor. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
A lab-lecture format with laboratory exercises to complement such topics as special and general relativity, the historical overview of atomic and nuclear physics, wave-particle duality, the one-dimensional Schr?inger equation and applications, nuclear structure, radioactivity and nuclear reactions, fission and fusion, elementary particles, and the Standard Model. Prerequisite: Grade C or higher in PHYS 242, or permission of the instructor. Alternate years.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits Guided by a mentor, the student receives instruction and practice in the behind-the-scenes operation of a physics laboratory course. Equipment set-up, grading, and safety are emphasized. Construction of a new laboratory exercise is required. Ideal for preservice teachers. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Fall, Spring.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits each Two semesters of lab experience beyond the introductory level with emphasis upon greater depth, sophistication, precision, creativity, use of analytical skills, and exposure to more technologically advanced apparatus than that previously encountered. Often involves computer data acquisition and analysis. Each course meets five hours a week. Prerequisite: Grade C or higher in PHYS 242 and permission of instructor. As needed.
-
3.00 Credits
Vector analysis, Coulomb's law, the electric field, Gauss's law,the Poisson and Laplace equations, properties of dielectrics, electric current, Ampere's law, electromagnetic induction, and Maxwell's equations. Prerequisites: Grade C or higher in PHYS 242 and MATH 361 or permission of the instructor. As needed.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1-4 credits Study of selected topics not covered adequately in other Physics courses. Includes the study of experimental techniques and results, as well as various theoretical models. Prerequisites: Grade C or higher in PHYS 242 and permission of instructor. Fall, Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
1-4 credits Individualized, directed study in an area of Physics or to a depth not normally available within the curriculum. The student initiates a research project or takes part in ongoing research under supervision of a faculty investigator. May be repeated for a total of 4 credits. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Fall, Spring.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1-4 credits Study of a selected topic in Political Science. May be repeated as topic changes. Prerequisite: ISPOSC 238 or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1-4 credits Introductory work-learning experience related to career interests, for which compensation may be received. Positions arranged by students with sponsorship, approval, and evaluation by full-time faculty. Elective credit only (normally 120 hours per credit) for a total of 12 credits per degree program. Prerequisites: 24 total credits earned, 2.0 cumulative GPA, and permission of instructor. Graded Pass/Fail.
