  • PH 360: Physics of Electronics 3

    4.00 Credits
    Milwaukee School of Engineering

    This subject provides students with the fundamentals of semiconductor physics. The electron energy band theory is developed and applied to the p-n junction to explain its behavior. Fundamental aspects of the operation of the p-n junction are used to explain the operation of several semiconductor devices including rectifier diodes, zener diodes, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, bipolar junction transistors, unijunction transistors, and field-effect transistors. Laboratory experiments illustrate fundamental properties of semiconductormaterials and with the characteristics and properties of a variety of semiconductor devices. This course cannot be taken for credit by students who have credit for PH-361. (prereq: PH-250)

  • PH 361: Physics ofMaterials 3

    4.00 Credits
    Milwaukee School of Engineering

    This course begins with an in-depth discussion of the structure of the atomand the nucleus, as well as other quantumphysics concepts.Material properties, such as hardness and ductility, are explained by examining the crystal structure ofmaterials. The band structure ofmaterials is discussed, and used to explain the wide range of electrical conductivities and optical absorption properties of conducting, semiconducting, insulating and superconductingmaterials. The magnetic properties ofmaterials are also examined in some detail. The laboratory portion of the course is designed to give the student hands-on experience in determining various fundamental properties ofmaterials, such as atomic and crystal structure, optical emission and absorption, electrical conductivity, x-ray emission and absorption and nuclear decay. This course cannot be taken for credit by students who have credit for PH-250. This course is designated as a laptop course. (prereq: CH-100 or CH-200 or CH-310, PH-123 or ET-3201,MA-128 orMA-129, ET-2550 or equivalent)

  • SC 371: Oceanography 3

    3.00 Credits
    Milwaukee School of Engineering

    This subject introduces the student to the physical study of the ocean and its basin. Specific topics include: the nature of the ocean bottomand its relation to continental drift; ocean currents, causes, locations, characteristics and effects on landmasses; and ocean wave mechanics, physics of sea water, acoustical properties of the ocean and the instruments and techniques used tomeasure ocean properties. Also studied is the interaction between warm watermasses and the atmosphere, which acts as a heat engine, causing energy interchanges which producemuch of the Earth's weather. A detailed exploration ismade of the potential of the ocean to supply large amounts of energy fromitsmechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical resources. The course includes a visit to theMilwaukeeMaritime Center. (prereq: junior standing)
