1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Involves a special project where there is a demonstrated need which cannot be met through enrollment in a regularly scheduled course. Also could include special projects of unusual merit in furthering a student's professional goals. Student(s) must be able to sustain framework for developing and enhancing student abilities to do lucid thinking. Requires approval of instructor, division dean, and curriculum committee.

2.00 Credits
PHYS 1000 is a survey of the basic concepts of classical and modern physics as they apply to phenomena observed in everyday life. Topics include mechanics, gravitation, thermodynamic, waves, sound, light, and electricity and magnetism. Emphasis is on the concepts, with a minimum of mathematics.
-
3.00 Credits
PHYS 1010 is a one semester elementary physics course with a co-requisite laboratory (PHYS 1015). This course is designed for non-science majors and fulfills the general education requirements in physical science. The fundamental principles of physics with emphasis on how a problem is approached and solved are central to the course. Topics include the scientific method, Newton's Laws, gravity, momentum, energy thermodynamics, waves, electricity, optics, nuclear physics and relativity. Students learn principles of physics, measurement and data analysis using observation, mathematical principles and the scientific method.
Corequisite:
PHYS 1015
-
1.00 Credits
PHYS 1015 is a laboratory course to accompany PHYS 1010. Students will learn techniques of measurement and data analysis using observation, mathematical principles and the scientific method. Laboratory experiments will provide hands-on opportunities to deepen knowledge and understanding of the principles of physics that are taught in the companion course PHYS 1010. (Lab fee required)
Corequisite:
PHYS 1010
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course designed to acquaint students with the night sky and the laws of science that govern heavenly bodies. The question "How do we know?" will lead students to learn more about stars, galaxies, and the universe itself. Application of physical laws and mathematical solutions to a variety of problems will lead to an understanding of how we know. Regularly scheduled night observations or planetarium presentations will be held each week. Naked-eye observations and binocular observations will be emphasized with some use of telescopes. (Lab fee required)
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course designed to acquaint students with profound questions about the existence of life. How and why did our existence become possible? Are these conditions necessary for life in general? Could we find life elsewhere in the universe? Where and how should we look? This class includes elements of geology, chemistry, astronomy, and physics. (Class fee required)
-
3.00 Credits
PHYS 1130 is an introductory course in the science of meteorology. The student is exposed to the physical, chemical, and dynamic processes of the atmosphere. Scientific principles that govern the circulation of the atmosphere, heat imbalance, radiation, cloud formation,weather prediction, severe weather, fronts, halos, and rainbows are analyzed. The course considers weather hazards and patterns common to Utah and the local region. Historical weather events are also evaluated in their respective spatial and temporal context.
Corequisite:
PHYS 1135
-
1.00 Credits
PHYS 1135 is a laboratory course to accompany PHYS 1130. Students will learn techniques of measurement and data analysis. Principles from the lecture course will be demonstrated and tested. (Lab fee required)
Corequisite:
PHYS 1130
-
2.00 Credits
PHYS 1150 is an introductory course in the science of meteorology. The student is exposed to the physical, chemical, and dynamic processes of the atmosphere. Scientific principles that govern the circulation of the atmosphere, heat imbalance, radiation, cloud formation, weather prediction, severe weather, fronts, halos, and rainbows are analyzed. The course is designed to apply toward physical science general education requirements.
-
3.00 Credits
PHYS 1750 is a general education physical science course intended for music majors but open to all majors. Major topics will include the science of acoustics including properties of waves and wave phenomena, aural sound perception through hearing, and the production of sound with musical instruments. Major instrument classes and the physical properties of each will be examined along with musical scales and harmony.
Corequisite:
PHYS 1755
