3.00 Credits
This course encompasses the principles and conditions of correct reasoning, including the relationship between language and thought, deductive arguments, and the methods of inductive inference. Throughout the course, the students will be expected to apply these principles in analyzing arguments. 3 hours of lecture per week. (General Education: AH). Prerequisite: None.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces some of the major ethical theories about morally right action, the morally good person, and the just society. Such theories may include ethical absolutism, ethical relativism, ethical egoism, utilitarianism, formalism, and rights theory. Topics may be drawn from contemporary moral issues, such as capital punishment, abortion, and euthanasia. (General Education: AH). Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
fall/spring Students taking this one-semester course study the fundamental topics necessary for further study in physical sciences and engineering technologies. The topics covered are: systems of units, converting units, one- and two-dimensional kinematics, vectors, Newton's Laws of Motion, and static equilibrium and torque. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None.
-
4.00 Credits
fall/spring This one-semester course is a continuation of PHY-1021 Introduction to Newtonian Mechanics. It is designed to familiarize the student with the concepts of work, energy, power, impulse-momentum, and the laws of conservation. These concepts are used to investigate both translational and rotational motion. Other topics covered include elasticity and the physics of static and dynamic fluids. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHY-1021.
-
4.00 Credits
This one semester, general physics course has the purpose of introducing the student to basic classical physics. Topics include: Newtonian mechanics, elasticity, fluids, heat transfer, gas laws, some thermodynamics, and DC and AC circuits. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1100 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
fall/spring/ summer The purpose of this course is to give the student in engineering technology a thorough study of the basic principles of physics. Topics covered in this course are systems of measurement; dynamics, including motion, acceleration, forces producing motion, work, energy, and power; momentum and the conservation laws; statics, including concurrent and noncurrent forces; fluids, including properties of gases, fluid pressure, density, buoyancy, and hydraulics. Previous successful completion of a course in physics is highly desirable. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: None. Co-requisite: MAT-1420 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
fall/spring/ summer This course is a continuation of Physics I for electrical engineering technology and computer engineering technology students. Emphasis is on understanding basic physical concepts that relate both to practical situations and to subsequent technical courses. Topics include heat, wave motion, electrical and magnetic field theory, electricity, light, and semi-conductor physics. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHY-1041 or 1022.
-
3.00 Credits
This course for architectural students is a continuation of Physics I and is a study of heat, including specific heat, latent heat, and heat transfer; wave motion, light, including such topics as mirrors, lenses, refraction, interference, and polarization; electricity, including such topics as electrical and magnetic field theory, light, solid-state physics, current, DC series and parallel circuits, energy, power, and AC series circuits. 3 hours of lecture per week. Prerequisite: PHY-1041 or PHY-1022.
-
4.00 Credits
This course, an alternative for Physics 1041, is intended for engineering technology students who have demonstrated an above-average ability in verbal skills and mathematics and whose mathematics and science preparation includes algebra, plane trigonometry, and basic physics. Prior completion of a course in calculus or concurrent enrollment in Calculus (MAT-1520) is required. Topics covered are systems of measurement; dynamics, including motion, acceleration, forces producing motion; work, energy, and power; momentum and conservation laws; statics, including concurrent and nonconcurrent forces; and fluids, including properties of gases, fluid pressure, density, buoyancy, and hydraulics. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: MAT-1420. Co-requisite: MAT-1520.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of calculus-based PHY-2041. Topics in wave motion, heat, electricity and magnetism, light, and solid-state and modern physics are covered. 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHY-2041 and MAT-1520.
