-
3.00 Credits
A course of study offered occasionally to groups of students to broaden departmental curriculum, to meet student demand, or to observe special events. May be repeated for credit when topics vary.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Corequisite: MATH 2421. This is the fi rst part of a two-part series intended for Physics majors and those intending to pursue an engineering degree. It is also recommended for Math, the sciences, and Computer Science majors who are comfortable with differential calculus. This course covers the fundamentals of mechanics: motion, vectors, forces, momentum, rotational motion, gravity, mechanical energy, and possibly sound. Emphasis is placed on calculus-based problem solving skills. (Fall)
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 2510, MATH 2421. Corequisite MATH 2322. This is the second part of a two-part series intended for physics majors and those intending to pursue and engineering degree. It is also recommended for Math, the sciences, and Computer Science majors who are comfortable with differential and integral calculus. This course covers the fundamentals of sound, heat, thermodynamics, electrostatics, DC circuits, magnetostatics, light, and some optics. emphasis is placed on calculus-based problem solving skills. (Spring)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 3300. This is a required course for physics majors. This course is intended to advance the student's practice and experience in physical measurements and serve as an introduction to the techniques and instruments used in experimental research in optics, atomic and nuclear physics, and astrophysics. This is an experience-enriched course. (Spring)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 2520. This is a required course for physics majors. This course is intended to introduce the student to a wide range of areas under the heading of Modern Physics. These areas include relativity theory, atomic and nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, and elementary particle physics. (Fall)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites PHYS 2510, MATH 2322. This course is an advanced elective for physics majors who intend to attend an engineering program. The course covers vector analysis of force systems, resultants, equilibrium, distributed forces, moments, trusses and frames, and friction. (Alternate Fall)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite PHYS 3315. This course is an advanced elective for physics majors who intend to attend an engineering program. The course covers vector analysis of particles and rigid bodies using Newton's Laws, impulse-momentum, and work-energy. (Alternate Spring)
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 2520. This course will introduce students to the basic electronic devices which comprise most electronic equipment. Topics include general circuitry, diodes, transistors, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and a touch of digital electronic devices such as op-amps and logic gates. Laboratory exercises are an integral part of the course. (Spring)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 3300, MATH 3341. This course serves as an advanced elective for physics majors intending to go on to graduate school in physics. The course covers special relativity beyond Introduction to Modern Physics and a little general relativity as well as molecular physics, nuclear physics, nuclear reactions, particle physics, and possible astrophysics or solid state physics. (As needed)
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Students must have completed the equivalent of a physics minor. This course is a requirement for the major. Students will use this semester to investigate the feasibility of a research project of their choice. The project may be designed for an individual or for a team. The course consists of weekly meetings to discuss the progress and possible refi nement of the project. The result of the course will be a feasibility report, budget proposal, project schedule, and formal presentation to the Society of Physics Students. If the project is determined to be feasible, including budget, it fulfi lls the prerequisite for the Senior Capstone course. (Fall, Spring)
