(4 sem. hrs.) (Prerequisite: MATH 1710) An introduction to the concepts, principles and methods of physics using algebra and trigonometry for pre-medical, pre-dental, engineering and science students. Emphasis is placed on experiences, experiments, demonstrations and use of multimedia resources to understand and apply in different situations the laws of motion, description of motion and forces, work, energy and the law of conservation of energy, linear momentum, circular motion, angular momentum, fl uids, and thermal physics. The student is oriented toward integrating conceptual understanding with analytical skills using plain language with simple mathematics. The principles of physics are related to applications relevant to students' lives. Problem solving skills are developed beyond an algorithmic approach through examples, problem-solving strategies and exercises. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory.

This course covers the basics of how state and local governments operate. It includes topics such as federalism, state constitutions, political parties and elections at the state and local level, legislatures, governors, the judiciary, the structure of local governments, and of course public budgeting and service delivery. The course also deals with several issue areas of concern to states and local governments such as education, criminal justice, economic development, and social welfare and health care policy. There are eight weekly quizzes based on the readings, one paper based on an additional book, a midterm and a final exam, and a weekly discussion on the Discussion Board.
