3.00 Credits
A discussion of selected philosophical issues or important texts with contributions by students and faculty. Required of all philosophy majors and minors, but also open to interested students from other departments who have obtained the permission of the Philosophy Department. Prerequisite: Previous philosophy course or consent of instructor. Fall semester; odd-numbered years.
-
3.00 Credits
The media's presentation of contemporary ethical issues has brought many of these into popular discourse. This seminar will review specific media presentations of these issues, clarify their philosophical implications, and discuss various resolutions based on recognized ethical theories. The seminar is taught fall semester every even-numbered year.
-
4.00 Credits

An introductory survey of the behavior of electrical circuits. Review of current, voltage, and passive circuit elements (resistors, capacitors, and inductors). Kirchhoff's Laws, network theorems, and basic network analysis. General characteristics of amplifiers and electronic instrumentation. Introduction to operational amplifiers and active elements (transistors). Laplace transform analysis of transient (switching) response, and complex phasor analysis of sinusoidal steady-state response. Three (3) hours lecture and one 2-hour laboratory per week, in which students build and test circuits and learn how to use typical circuit simulation software (PSPICE).
