This course is for students in nuclear medicine technology or radiation therapy technology. The interaction of radiation with matter and radiation protection philosophies and concepts are discussed. Topics include radiation interaction with matter, shielding of radioactivity, nuclear detection devices, dosimetry and radiation exposure. Emphasized are the safe use of radioactive sources, accelerators, X-ray machines and radionuclides. The laboratory component introduces data reduction procedures and reinforces concepts presented in lecture.
Prerequisite:
PHY 125

4.00 Credits
This physics course is taught at the algebraic level. The students gain a basic understanding of the fundamental principles and applications of classical mechanics and thermodynamics using algebra and trigonometry. Laboratory activities in the course reinforce the fundamental principles of physics and topics presented in the lecture section. The course is transferable to many four-year institutions. Students should consult a transfer counselor.
Prerequisite:
MAT 108
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHY 141. Students gain a basic understanding of the fundamental principles and applications of electricity, magnetism, light and modern physics using algebra and trigonometry. Laboratory activities reinforce the fundamental principles of physics and topics presented in the lecture section. This course is transferable to many four-year institutions. Students should consult a transfer counselor.
Prerequisite:
PHY 141

1.00 Credits
This course is a direct exploration of the places where Galileo performed the first physics experiments and of CERN, the largest modern physics experiment in the world. The core of the course is an eight-day trip to Geneva, Switzerland and Tuscany, Italy. Students travel to Florence, where they visit world-famous science museums, such as the Galileo Museum and art museums, such as the Uffizi. CERN, located in Geneva, Switzerland, is the largest-ever science experiment involving state-of-the-art technology and over 5000 scientists. Students observe how physics has evolved through the centuries and how real-life science is carried out, all while experiencing the rich culture of Europe. Some preparatory coursework takes place before the trip itself. A separate travel fee is paid to the educational tour company that organizes the logistics for the trip. The students must provide their own passports and travel insurance. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis.
