1.00 Credits
Intended for first and second year students considering Astronomy/Astronomy-Physics as a major as well as newly declared majors. Participants meet with a different Astronomy faculty member each week to discuss ongoing reseach in order to acquaint students with both the subject matter and required physical, mathematical, and computational background of contemporary astronomy research. Potential long term undergraduate research projects will be emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
Primarily for science majors. A thorough discussion of the basic concepts and methods of solar system, stellar, galactic, and extragalactic astronomy with an emphasis on physical principles. Topics include recent research developments, such as black holes, pulsars, quasars, and new solar system observations from the space program. Prerequisite/corequisite: MATH 121 or 131, PHYS 151 or 231, or instructor permission; ASTR 211 and 212 form a sequence and should be taken in that order.

Primarily for science majors. A laboratory course, generally meeting at night, that deals with basic observational techniques in astronomy. Students use observational facilities at the McCormick and Fan Mountain Observatories.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the tools, techniques, and science of radio astronomy. Discussion includes fundamentals of measuring radio signals, radiometers, antennas, and interferometers, supplemented by illustrative labs; radio emission mechanisms and simple radiative transfer; radio emission from the Sun and planets, stars, galactic and extragalactic sources, and the cosmic microwave background.
-
3.00 Credits
A seminar-style class offered primarily for non-majors planning to teach science or looking to improve their ablility to communicate science effectively. In addition to astronomy content, students will learn effective teaching strategies and gain practical experience by developing and implementing their own concept-based astronomy lessons. (Y) Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: ASTR 121, 124; instructor permission Credits: 3
