3.00 Credits
Introduction to planetary, stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astronomy. An examination of the surface characteristics, atmospheres, and motions of planets and other bodies in our solar system. Properties of the sun, stars, and galaxies, including the birth and death of stars, stellar explosions, and the formation of stellar remnants such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, pulsars, and black holes. Quasars, cosmology, and the evolution of the universe. May not be taken by students who have previously completed ASTR/PHY 105, 201, or 202. (NS)
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory to accompany PHY 7 (ASTR 7). (NS)
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
For students who have Advanced Placement or transfer credit for 2 or 3 credits of PHY 11. The student will be scheduled for the appropriate part of PHY 11 to complete the missing material. The subject matter and credit hours will be determined by the Physics Department for each student. Students with AP Physics C credit for mechanics will take the thermodynamics and kinetic theory part of PHY 11 for one credit. Prerequisite: MATH 21, 31, or 51 previously or concurrently; and consent of the department. (NS)
-
1.00 Credits
Computer-assisted laboratory course, dealing with physical phenomena in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, spectroscopy and thermodynamics. Measurement strategies are developed and transducers devised. Computer simulation, analysis software, digital data acquisition. Prerequisites: PHY 21 and 22 or their equivalent or consent of chairperson. Kim (NS)
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to the Project Management Certification Course; syllabus, requirements and deliverables. Students will become acquainted with: the terminology, nine knowledge areas, relationships to other disciplines, project management context and processes. Introduction to the logistical vehicles for course delivery and the tools to be used. Students will also assess themselves as project leaders and explore project leader competencies, roles, responsibilities and stakeholder relationships.
-
1.00 Credits
Students will enhance project team leadership skills, define the work environment of project teams, team selection, develop a team charter, clearly define the roles and responsibilities of all project team members, set team guidelines, learn methods to promote teamwork, understand the stages of development, manage team dynamics. Additional skills covered: delegation, managing accountability without direct authority over project team members, managing dysfunctional teams, performance improvement, input to performance appraisals, rewards, recognitions, celebrations. Prerequisite: PMGT 401.
-
2.00 Credits
Students will learn techniques for deciding whether to undertake a project and for planning project outcomes and schedules. The relationship of projects to organizational planning and budgeting, information and performance appraisals systems will be discussed. Approaches will be shared for identifying and classifying project stakeholders and designing and conducting a cost benefit analysis. How to define desired project outcomes clearly and completely and how to determine project work to be performed using decomposition and templates will be addressed. Students will learn how to develop a project charter, a scope statement, a Work Breakdown Structure, a WBS dictionary and a Linear Responsibility Chart. How to create a network diagram and analyze schedule possibilities using the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) will be explained. Fast tracking and crashing a schedule will also be explored. Displaying a schedule with a Gantt Chart, key events list and activities will be illustrated. How to support these activities using MS Project will be demonstrated. Prerequisites: PMGT 401, PMGT 402
-
2.00 Credits
In this course, students will learn how to estimate the needs for personnel and other types of projects resources, to develop a project budget and to plan for additional project support activities. Determining the type, amount and timing of resource needs will be emphasized. Approaches to resource leveling will be discussed. The different types of project costs will be explained. The use of analogous estimating, parametric modeling, bottomup estimating and computerized tools to estimate costs will be explored. Planning to ensure project quality and coordinate project communications will be will be addressed. Identifying, assessing, and preparing a plan to manage project risks will also be discussed. Planning for project procurement and associated solicitations will be explained. Students will learn how to develop resource matrices, loading charts and grafts and a project budget. How to support these activities using MS Project will be demonstrated. Prerequisites: PMGT 401, PMGT 402, PMGT 403
