    This course will survey political concepts, theories, and issues. It will examine the theoretical support for political ideologies, as well as concepts such as rights, obligation, equality, justice, property, punishment, liberty, obedience, and authority. College level reading and writing is recommended. (Prerequisites: None).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will help students to develop and improve their ability to make ethical decisions in the business world. Students will become familiar with common types of ethical dilemmas that arise in business, and will learn how to apply ethical concepts to help resolve them. The course will cover stakeholder relationships, conflicts between personal morality and organizational norms, and the relationship between law and ethics. We will also discuss the social responsibilities of business regarding issues such as discrimination and diversity, the environment, and international relations. (Prerequisites: Appropriate placement in college level reading and writing).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a conceptual introduction to physics, the study of the fundamental laws and principles that underlie the physical universe. Content covered includes units and measurements, linear motion, Newton's Laws of motion, momentum, energy, temperature, heat transfer, vibrations, waves, sound, electrostatics and simple circuits. Elementary algebra is used. (Prerequisites: MATH 0098 or equivalent).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a one-semester algebra-based general introduction to physics covering the topics of motion, force, energy, fluids, waves, basic electricity, radioactivity, and emission of radiation. Problem solving is practiced both individually and in groups. The laboratory includes the acquisition of experimental data, analysis, and graphing. Group presentations on physics topics are included in the course. (Prerequisites: MATH 0099 or equivalent).
  • 5.00 Credits

    This course is the first semester of a two-semester algebra-based introduction to physics. The course covers topics from mechanics that include linear and parabolic motion, Newton's Laws of motion, energy, momentum, angular motion and torque, fluid mechanics, periodic motion, waves and sound, temperature, and heat transfer. Emphasis is on both conceptual learning and problem solving. (Prerequisites: MATH 1117).
  • 5.00 Credits

    This course is the second semester of a two-semester algebra-based introduction to physics. The course covers the following topics: the first and second laws of thermodynamics, electrostatics, simple DC circuits, electric safety, AC circuits, magnetism, inductance, optics, relativity, and atomic and nuclear physics. Emphasis is on both conceptual learning and problem solving. The laboratory experience will provide the student with opportunities for discovery, measurement, report writing and data analysis. (Prerequisites: PHYS 1117 or permission of instructor).
  • 5.00 Credits

    This course is the first semester of a two-semester introduction to classical physics using the mathematics of vectors and calculus. Students should either have already taken or be concurrently enrolled in Calculus I (MATH 1127). Topics studied include vectors, motion in one and two dimensions, Newton's Laws of motion, work and energy, conservation of momentum, torque and rotational motion, simple harmonic motion, waves, and sound. These topics are studied through lecture, discussion, interactive problem solving, demonstrations, hands-on laboratories, and independent work. Free-body diagrams are used extensively. Emphasis is on both conceptual learning and problem solving. The laboratory experience will provide the student with opportunities for discovery, measurement, technical writing and data analysis. (Prerequisites: Students should either have already taken or be concurrently enrolled in Calculus I (MATH 1127).

Topics studied include temperature, heat, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, electrostatics, electric and magnetic fields, simple DC circuits, Kirchhoff's Laws, Ampere's Law, Faraday's Law, resistance, capacitance, inductance, AC circuits, electromagnetic waves, geometric and physical optics. These topics are studied through lecture, discussion, interactive problem-solving, demonstrations, hands- on laboratories, and independent work. Emphasis is on both conceptual learning and problem solving. The laboratory experience will provide the student with opportunities for discovery, measurement, report writing and data analysis.(Prerequisites: MATH 1127, PHYS 1127) (Other requirements: Students should either have already taken or be concurrently enrolled in Calculus II (MATH 1128).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is an introduction to stellar astronomy for the non-science major. The course covers topics that include light and spectra, the sun, stars, galaxies, supernovae, black holes and the Big Bang. In addition, students will be introduced to the stunning beauty of the universe as revealed in images, written works and direct experience through the telescope. Laboratory exercises introduce students to the methods astronomers use to study the universe. Lab work is supplemented by astronomical observing sessions at the RCTC Observatory. NOTE: ESCI 1134 and PHYS 1134 are cross-listed. Students may take one or the other for credit, but will not receive credit for both. (Prerequisites: None).
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course is a one-semester overview of modern physics. Topics studied include special relativity, the experimental basis of quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality, introduction to wave mechanics, the Schrodinger Equation, application of the Schrodinger equation to the hydrogen atom and the development of the atomic structure, molecular structure, solid state and nuclear structure. (Prerequisites: PHYS 1128, MATH 1128 or permission of instructor).
