3.00 Credits
(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) This is a first semester, calculus-based general physics course. Topics include mechanics, kinematics, vectors, forces, Newton's Laws of Motion, gravitation, work, energy, momentum, and the associated conservation laws. Problem solving is an integral part of the course. Classroom engagement activities are used to increase problem-solving and analytical thinking skills and to guide students toward a coherent and logical approach to understanding physics. High school physics is strongly recommended as a prerequisite. Prerequisite: A 'C' or better inMAT 211. Corequisite course: PHY 241.
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring, Course Offered Every Year) This is the second half of a two-semester calculus-based general physics sequence. Topics include statics, fluids, oscillatory motion, sound, electrostatics, electricity, magnetism, and optics. Problem solving is an integral part of the course. Conceptual understanding is reinforced using interactive classroom activities, including group problem solving and discussion questions. An independent study paper on a physics-related topic is required. Prerequisite: PHY 211 and PHY 241. Corequisite course: PHY 242.
-
1.00 Credits
(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) Laboratory studies in mechanics, kinematics, gravitation, forces, momentum, and energy. The laboratory develops skills with basic sensors and introduces the theory of measurement, including taking data, assessing uncertainty in measurement, and interpretation of results. Students work in small groups and interact with the instructor on an individual basis. Lab reports are assigned to help develop skills in technical writing and communication. Corequisite course: PHY 211.

-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Fall and Spring, Course Offered Every Year) This course will provide opportunities for freshmen and sophomores to participate in original laboratory research. Students will submit their findings in a formal written report and will give an oral presentation. Students will be expected to spend two to three hours per week in the laboratory and one to two hours per week outside the laboratory for each semester hour credit. PHY-211 is strongly recommended as a prerequisite for this course. Course may be repeated for a total of three hours credit.
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring, Odd-Numbered Years Only) A study of the modern theories of atomic and molecular structure and chemical bonding. Also offered as CHE-430. Three lectures per week. Prerequisites: CHE-112, PHY-212, MAT-211.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
(Fall and Spring, Course Offered Every Year) Open to junior and senior science or mathematics majors or others by permission. In conjunction with a faculty mentor, the student will formulate and execute an original research project that will culminate in a paper and a presentation. A research proposal form completed by the student and the faculty mentor is required for registration. May be repeated for credit for a total of three semester hours. Prerequisite: PHY-212.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall and Spring, Course Offered Every Year) An introduction to American government and politics with an emphasis on the basic constitutional structure of the government and on the political institutions that surround it. Attention given to current political events and issues.
-
3.00 Credits
(Fall, Course Offered Every Year) A study of public policies and the political processes that support them. Models and methods used by policy analysts will be studied.
-
3.00 Credits
(Spring, Even-Numbered Years Only) An introduction to the theory and practice of government in major contrasting political systems. Liberal democratic, authoritarian and developing systems are considered.
