    An opportunity for students to organize and conduct research projects of their own choice with the help of faculty supervision. Prerequisite: permission of instructor. Credits: 1-3 hours NOTE: This course counts toward the 63-hour Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    An opportunity for students to organize and conduct research projects of their own choice with the help of faculty supervision. Prequisite: prior permission of instructor. Credits: 1-3 hours
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course presents an overview of our understanding of the physical world, covering some of the main concepts, theories, and experimental techniques of physics. While the course focuses primarily on the conceptual understanding of physics, it also explores some of its historical, technological, philosophical, and aesthetic aspects, and its place in the history of ideas. The range of possible topics includes Newton's laws of motion, gravity, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, light, relativity, quantum theory, elementary particles and nuclear physics. Basic algebra skills are expected of the students. The course has a laboratory component that emphasizes quantitative measurements. Credits: 4 hours When Offered: (offered fall, spring) NOTE: This course fulfills the Scientific: Physical Science Mode of Inquiry of the Liberal Studies Program. NOTE: This course counts toward the 63-hour Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This seminar, offered pass/fail, will serve as an introduction to the physics discipline, while focusing on an area of modern physics (such as relativity, chaos, cosmology, elementary particles, etc.). This course is for physics and engineering majors. Prerequisite: physics major or pre-engineering major. Credits: 1 hour When Offered: (offered fall only)
  • 3.00 Credits

    The motion of objects, from particles to planets, is the focus of this course. The revolution in human understanding of mechanics, inspired by Galileo and developed by Newton and others is the lens through which our modern mechanical world is surveyed. Students will make extensive use of algebra and trigonometry in applying the fundamental laws of classical physics to real-world problems, and will explore the physicist's approach to inquiry through laboratory investigations. Prerequisite: MATH 186 or equivalent with grade of "C" or higher.Credits: 4 hours When Offered: (offered fall, spring) NOTE: General Honors Course. NOTE: This course fulfills the Scientific: Physical Science Mode of Inquiry of the Liberal Studies Program. NOTE: This course counts toward the 63-hour Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Maxwell's synthesis of electricity and magnetism in the mid-nineteenth century led to unexpected knowledge about the nature of light. It opened the door to a whole new world view developed by twentieth century physicists and paved the way for the technological revolution that characterizes modern life. Students will make extensive use of algebra and trigonometry in applying the fundamental laws of classical physics to real-world problems, and will explore the physicist's approach to inquiry through laboratory investigations.Prerequisite: PHYS 185 with grade of "C" or higher.Credits: 4 hours When Offered: (offered fall, spring) NOTE: General Honors Course. NOTE: This course fulfills the Scientific: Physical Science Mode of Inquiry of the Liberal Studies Program. NOTE: This course counts toward the 63-hour Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
