1.00 Credits
The objective of this course is to assist students in the transition fromcollege life to professional life. The course provides students with techniques for and experiences in conducting a successful job search, preparing letters of application and resumes, and preparing for job interviews. It also examines the concepts of success, lifelong learning, and professional responsibilities. (prereq: junior standing)
-
4.00 Credits
This is a prerequisite course to be taken by students who have not had one year of high school physics or equivalent, with a grade of B or better. Topics covered include units, technicalmath, vectors, forces and Newton's Laws, one-dimensionalmotion, work, energy andmomentum. Laboratory experiments compliment the lecturematerial and provide additional work in basic experimental techniques such as uncertainty, graphical analysis, and report writing skills. Additional topicsmay include rotationalmotion, torques, reflection, refraction or optical devices. This is a prerequisite course, and does notmeet the graduation requirement for any programatMSOE. (coreq:MA-126)

4.00 Credits
The purpose of this subject is to provide the four-year engineering student with the basic principles ofmechanics. Topics covered include: linear and rotational kinematics, Newton's Laws ofmotion, work and energy, andmomentum. Themathematical level of the course includes the use of vector algebra and elementary applications of differential and integral calculus. The laboratory sessions correlate theory with experimental results. Emphasis is placed uponmeasurement precision, experimental technique, analysis of data and report writing. Not for credit for students who have credit for PH-113, PH-130 or PT-110. (prereq: one year of high school physics with a grade of B, or PH-090; coreq:MA-137)

4.00 Credits
This is an introductory presentation of the fundamental concepts and principles ofmechanics and heat. Vectors,motion with constant acceleration, Newton's Laws, work, energy and momentumare discussed in themechanics portion of the course. Temperature, thermal expansion, heat capacity and heat transfermechanisms are discussed in the heat portion. The associated laboratory correlates theory with experimental results and gives students direct experience with some of the concepts presented in the lectures. The laboratory also provides an opportunity for students to become familiar with laboratory instruments, and techniques, and report writing. This course replaces PT-110. Not for credit for students who have credit for PH-110, PH-130 or PT-110. Designated as laptop course. (prereq:MA-127)
-
4.00 Credits
The first section of this course covers the principles of electricity andmagnetism. Specific topics covered include Coulomb's law, electric fields, electric potential, capacitance, simple DC circuits and Ohm's law, forces on charged particles inmagnetic fields, andmagnetic fields due to electric currents. The last section of this course covers the principles of geometric and physical optics. The laws of reflection and refraction are discussed and these laws are used to study the ways in whichmirrors and lenses can be used to formimages. Interference is discussed and applied to double slits and thin films. The associated laboratory is designed to give students direct experience with the concepts presented in lecture. The laboratory also serves to familiarize students with laboratory techniques and equipment. This course replaces PT-220. Not for credit for students who have credit for PH-230 or PT-220. Designated as laptop a course. (prereq: PH-113)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is intended to provide students in nontechnical fields with the fundamentals of physics. Topics includemechanics, energy, fluids, thermodynamics, optics, and nuclear physics. Laboratory experiments complement the lecturematerial and provide work on report writing skills. Not for credit for students who have credit in PH-110, PH-113 or PT-110. (coreq:MA-127)
-
0.00 Credits
Students are given the opportunity to pursue an approved subject not covered in regularly scheduled course work. Thismay take the formof individual or small group studies, literature surveys, and laboratory or research projects.Weeklymeetings with the course advisor are required. A final report to be filed in the Physics and Chemistry Departmentmay also be required. This course is offered to students with freshman or sophomore standing and does not meet the requirements for theMinor in Physics. Credit in this course will be determined after consultation with the instructor. Students with junior or senior standing should request PH-499. (prereq: consent of the course advisor, and the Physics and Chemistry Department chairman.)

4.00 Credits
This course is a calculus based introduction tomechanics. Topics include: linear and rotational kinematics and dynamics, work, energy, andmomentum. Themathematical level of this course includes the use of vector algebra and elementary applications of differential and integral calculus. The laboratory part of the course emphasizesmeasurement precision, experimental technique, analysis of data, and report writing. Together with Physics II and Physics III (PH-2020 and PH-2030), this course provides one year of university level physics. Nomore than 4 credits can be counted in any combination with PH-110, PH-113, PH-130, or PT-110. (prereq: one year of high school physics with a grade of B or PH-090, CH-200 andMA-136; coreq:MA-137)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is the calculus-based continuation of PH-2010. The purpose of this subject is to acquaint engineering students with the fundamental laws and physical theories of electricity, magnetism, and optics. Particular topics include: electrostatic vector fields, scalar potential, capacitance and dielectrics, energy and force in electrostatic systems, current, resistance and electromotive force,magnetic fields and forces, electromagnetic waves, laws of reflection and refraction, geometrical optics and image formation, and interference and diffraction. This course repeats 1 credit of PH-220 and 3 credits of PH-230. (prereq: CH-200, PH-2010,MA-137; coreq:MA-231)
