1.00 Credits
Problem solving sessions focused on interpreting physical situations and applying physics concepts to solve problems. Students will practice using graphical and mathematical representations, planning and carrying out solutions, and assessing answers. Participation in these sessions can improve student performance in traditionally difficult courses. Strongly recommended for all students enrolled in lower-division physics courses. Corequisite: Enrollment in the appropriate lower-division Physics course. The content of each course is reflected by its sub-title. May be repeated as course number (below) changes for a maximum of three (3) units. A. Problem solving for PHYS 201 B. Problem solving for PHYS 202 C. Problem solving for PHYS 203 D. Problem solving for PHYS 205 E. Problem solving for PHYS 206

4.00 Credits
Introduction to digital computer hardware design including: gates, flip-flops, registers, and memory to perform logical and arithmetic operations on numeric and other data represented in binary form. The laboratory uses digital logic integrated circuitry for experiments with combinational and sequential networks, and simple digital systems. Enrollment Requirement: CS 231, PHYS 202 or 206. Prerequisite: MATH 370.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to research in physics education and research-based physics teaching. Subjects include how people learn and understand physics concepts and the nature of science. Additional subjects will include research-based curricula, pedagogical approaches, and challenges associated with implementing novel teaching methods. Useful for students interested in teaching and learning physical sciences. Enrollment Requirement: PHYS 203.
-
3.00 Credits
Intended for the non-science major, the goal of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental concept in the physical and life sciences. Popular motion pictures, television programs and commercials, and video documentaries that contain scientific themes will be used to introduce relevant concepts, and will also serve as a common background from which students can expand their scientific understanding. Also offered as CHEM 315. Students may not receive credit for both.
-
3.00 Credits
Classical mechanics and associated mathematical and numerical techniques: Principles of Newtonian mechanics, an introduction to Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics. Applications to central force problems and small vibrations, and other selected topics in mechanics, including applications in engineering and biological systems. Enrollment Requirement: PHYS 203.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the applications of Maxwell's Equations and the propagation of EM waves in relation to matter. Subjects to be covered include: dielectrics, conductors, plasmas, and waveguides, and selected topics in EM wave radiation, propagation, absorption, transmission, and diffraction. Enrollment Requirement: PHYS 202, 203, and MATH 162 and 260.
