4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MAT* K186, PHY* K121. This course will cover the fundamental principles of electricity and magnetism, AC & DC circuits, electromagnetic fields and waves, optics, relativity and quantum and atomic physics.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHO* K101, and PHO* K105 or TCN* K105. Building on the foundation of PHO* K101, this course will introduce more sophisticated optical systems and mathematical analysis. Topics will include thick lenses, matrix methods of optics, aberrations, stops and pupils, interferometry, Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction and polarization. Emphasis will be on applications of optics in modern technology. All laboratory section will reinforce concepts through hands-on experiments and team projects. This course is equivalent to PHO* K102 Applied Optics.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: MAT* K254 Co-requisite: MAT* K254 This is a calculus-based introduction to the basic concepts of classical mechanics. Major topics will include Newton's laws, motion in n-dimensions, periodic motion, thermodynamics, energy, hydrodynamics, and an introduction to material science. The course will emphasize the theoretical aspects of physics and will help the student develop effective problem solving strategies. Laboratories will be designed to allow the student to visualize the important concepts introduced in lecture and to increase student understanding of the scientific process. There will be two hours of lecture, one hour of problem solving, and three hours of lab each week.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHY* K221. This is a continuation of PHY* K221. Major topics will include continuation of the study of solids, electromagnetic phenomena, Maxwell's equations, and atomic and sub-atomic phenomena. Laboratories will center around studying electromagnetic phenomena and enhancing student knowledge of the relationship between electricity, magnetism and light. There will be two hours of lecture, one hour of problem solving, and three hours of lab each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Placement test score indicating ENG* K101 or completion of ENG* K100 with a "C" grade or better. This course is a survey of the factors which influence the policies of modern nation states. Concepts in world politics, such as balance of power, imperialism, diplomacy, international law, and international organizations will be analyzed. The causes of international tensions with emphasis on contemporary conflict situations will also be considered. Course fulfills International/Intercultural Requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Placement test score indicating ENG* K101 or completion of ENG* K100 with a "C" grade or better. Through open discussion of political issues and controversies, this course examines the framework of our democracy. The broad study focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of American national government. Topics such as election campaigns, political parties, presidential power, and individual liberties are explored.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Placement test score indicating ENG* K101 or completion of ENG* K100 with a "C" grade or better. This course examines the puzzling process of local governmental decision-making. It broadly studies the formal structures of town and city governments, and attempts to sort out the informal political power structures which influence public policy. Local political party organization, election campaigning, and influence peddling are explored. Special topics related to municipal government such as zoning, public safety, and taxation are also discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Placement test score indicating ENG* K101 or completion of ENG* K100 with a "C" or better, and successful completion of any 100 level Social Science course. This course will explore all sides of the various issues that are currently being discussed by politicians and the electorate in America. These issues may include immigration policies, anti-poverty programs, gay and lesbian rights, legalization of marijuana, campaign finance reform, America's health care system, the USA Patriot Act, stem cell research, global warming, US military intervention abroad, abortion, gun control, crime. Since this is a seminar class, students will be expected to prepare multimedia presentations and participate in political debates toencourage independent thinking, critical analysis, and scholarly discussions.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: At least two prior courses in politics, and permission of the instructor. In this assistantship, students will assist a faculty member in conducting an academic course offered in the field of politics. Students may lead discussion groups, work with individual students, organize field trips, make presentations, and/or other work to be arranged.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor This course is an active learning experience for the student as intern in the state legislature. A student must apply to be an intern by contacting Three Rivers Community College's faculty representative to the Legislative Intern program. In the classroom, students will learn about the General Assembly's lawmaking processes and skills that will help them to assist their appointed state legislator in servicing his/her constituents. There will be an orientation in January prior to the start of this internship.
