3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group I Core) A course specifically designed for non-science majors. The course introduces the concept of a system and looks at the properties and features that all systems have in common. General systems principles will be illustrated by specific examples from natural systems: life cycles, entropy, system environments, feedback, and control.The morphology of models and their use will be emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group I Core) An introduction to the principles of astronomy for nonscience majors.Topics to be covered include the history of the science and methods of study, the study of stars and galaxies, and a general survey of cosmological models. Recent discoveries such as background black-body radiation, pulsars, and quasars, as well as the implications of general relativity, will be discussed qualitatively.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group I Core) Intended for non-science majors.The student will use actual data and perform in-class experiments to form a link between the empirical and theoretical aspects of the study of weather in order to appreciate how meteorology is a natural extension of the methods of inquiry used in physics. Numerical work is done, but the primary approach to the course material is conceptual.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group I Core) For non-science majors with an interest in the scientific underpinnings of music and sound, through hands-on workshops, this course conceptually treats sound production, propagation, and sensing and topics including: pitch, loudness, timbre, scales, intervals, and performance spaces. Music knowledge is a plus.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group I Core) In this course, we will attempt to understand the workings of common technical devices in terms of simply physical principles. Examples range from bicycles to rockets, lights to lasers, radios to CDs, and solar panels to electrical power plants. No mathematics beyond algebra and trigonometry will be assumed.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester, 1 credit An introduction to the process and practice of engineering. Topics included are: the history of engineering, engineering design, optimization and mathematics in engineering, fields of engineering, the engineer and socie ety, contemporary opportunities, and challenges.The class will meet one hour per week.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits Principles of special relativity and quantum physics; application to atomic, nuclear,molecular, solid state, and elementary particle physics. (Lectures 3 hours, laboratory 3 hours.) Prerequisite: EPS 102.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits An introduction to the principles of operation of the basic components of electronic devices. Included: circuit problems, models, integrated circuits, analog and digital systems, complex analysis, equivalent circuits. (Lectures 3 hours, laboratory 3 hours.)
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits This course treats the structure and vocabulary of programming languages such as C, Fortran, or JAVA and their application in science/engineering problems. Input/output, control and branching, iteration, arrays and subscripts, file processing, and subprogramming will be treated. Standard modular/structured approaches will be emphasized.The course is intended for science and engineering majors.
-
1.00 Credits
1 semester, 1 credit This course treats the concept of a system model and includes a basic introduction to Monte Carlo simulation and to dynamic representations such as Industrial Dynamics methods.
