2.00 Credits
This course provides you the opportunity to practice the skills you learned in PHL 1050. The clinical experience will take place in either a clinic or hospital setting during the last six weeks of class. It is designed to provide concentrated practice and phlebotomy skill development. You will work under the guidance and supervision of the clinical staff at your facility. The actual time of class will vary according to your assigned site but may include early morning (e.g. 6:00 a.m.) hours. Corequisite: PHL 1050.
-
5.00 Credits
This on-campus course provides you with information on current techniques, skills and equipment necessary to perform safe and effective blood collection procedures. There are both lecture and laboratory components to the class. The main focus of the course is on learning how to perform blood specimen collection, sample preparation and laboratory safety. You will learn the skill of phlebotomy on a simulator arm and then, in a very controlled setting, practice with student laboratory partners using both venipuncture and capillary sampling methods. Other topics that are discussed in class are organization of the medical laboratory, basic anatomy and physiology, specimen integrity, communication skills and medicolegal ethics. Evaluation is by written examination and competency-skill testing. Corequisite: PHL 1020.

4.00 Credits
This course is intended for nonscience majors. It develops the processes of science through the study of some of the most interesting topics in science that have had an impact on our understanding of the world in which we live. Topics include relativity, radioactivity, lasers, cosmology, the nature of the atom and nucleus and nuclear power. The course stresses understanding of basic concepts rather than difficult mathematical models. Four lectures and one two-hour lab session per week. Also offered in Weekend College.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the physical principles and processes of science applicable to the study of astronomy. This study is largely observationally based utilizing the College's astrophysical observatory with a computerized telescope and research instrumentation. Topics include a study of the solar system, the earth and moon system, stellar structure and evolution, giants, dwarfs, pulsars and blackholes, nebulae, galaxies, quasars, cosmology and the search for extraterrestrial life. Four lectures and two laboratory hours per week. Also offered in Weekend College.
-
4.00 Credits
This course and its continuation, PHYS 1090, is designed especially for physical therapy and related studies requiring only algebra-based physics. The first semester focuses on applications of mechanics and thermodynamics to the human body and physical agent modalities. Four hours of lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: High School Algebra.
-
4.00 Credits
Continuation of PHYS 1080. This course focuses on electric and magnetic fields, circuits, wave theory, optics and modern physics including medical imaging. Prerequisite: PHYS 1080.
-
4.00 Credits
This course and its continuation, PHYS 1120, are intended for pre-medicine, physical and life science, mathematics and pre-engineering students. The principles of classical mechanics, vectors, kinematics, particle and rigid body rotational dynamics and statics; conservation laws; fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Four hours of lecture and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite with concurrency: MATH 1120 or 1130.
-
4.00 Credits
Continuation of PHYS 1110. The principles of thermal, wave, optical and electromagnetic phenomena with an introduction to modern physics are studied. Four lectures and two laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: PHYS 1110. Prerequisite with concurrency: MATH 1140.
-
4.00 Credits
Many of the new technologies in today's world have been developed using basic physics principles and new applications of these concepts. This course focuses on the science behind the new technologies and helps you understand how they work. Moreover, it gives the non-science major a background in fundamental physics to intelligently examine new discoveries and the individual merit of each. Application topics covered include robotics, fiber optics, lasers, digital video and both digital and analog electronics. The ability to use basic algebra is required. Prerequisite: MATH 1070.
-
4.00 Credits
Intended to provide scientists (both physical and life) and engineers with a background in electronics and instrumentation so that they can select the instrumentation most appropriate to a measurement or control problem. Course covers analysis of basic electronic circuits used in scientific electronic instrumentation. Emphasis on a practical approach to circuits using discrete and integrated circuit devices; d.c. and a.c. circuit analysis; filters, feed back; amplifiers; power supplies; oscillators; counting, switching, timing, wave shaping and digital circuits. Three lectures and two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHYS 1120 or permission of the instructor.
