-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed for those students who need preparation for taking a college level physics course. It would also be appropriate for non-science/ non-technology students who wish to increase their grasp of the concepts of physics in a non-traditional way. The course is designed to develop physical concepts in a highly interactive laboratory and computer setting and to developing problem solving skill. There will be opportunities to manipulate real objects, and study their behavior by means of data collection and computer analysis. Topics covered include measurement and units, the metric system, graphing, kinematics, vectors and scalars and introduction to the laws of motion.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is appropriate for students lacking a strong math and science background and is designed to develop physical concepts in the classroom in a highly interactive laboratory. The laboratory portion of the course will include traditional and conceptual physics experiments, computer work and time devoted to physics problem solving. Considerable attention is paid to problem solving and the development of problem analysis skills.
-
3.00 Credits
This is the first semester of a two semester sequence, which is appropriate for a Liberal Arts or technical student who plans to complete a four year degree. The course describes the fundamental laws of natural environment and provides the student with an apppreciation of how physics impacts nature and society. Problem solving is stressed. The course studies motion, force, energy, collision, rotational motion, heat, and fluids. This course includes a laboratory each week covering the topics listed for this course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the first of a sequence of three semesters intended to cover elementary classical physics for those students who are planning to transfer into a four-year program in engineering, mathematics, or one of the natural sciences. The topics covered include: measurements, vectors, kinematics, dynamics, work and energy, momentum and collision, equilibrium or rigid bodies, and gravitation. This course includes a lab each week covering the topics listed for this course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHYS 1004. The topics to be covered are primarily taken from the area of mechanics. Considerable attention is paid to problem solving and the development of problem attack skills. The laboratory/recitation portion of the course will include lecture demonstrations, some laboratory work, and substantial time devoted to physics problem solving. This course is remedial/developmental in nature and does not satisfy any degree requirements. Topics include: motion, Newton's Laws, torque, friction and static's.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHYS 1024. It is appropriate for a liberal arts or technical student who plans to complete a four-year degree. The topics covered include: simple harmonic motion, waves, light, electricity and magnetism. Problem solving is stressed. The course includes a lab each week covering the topics listed for this course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHYS 1044. It is appropriate for a Liberal Arts or technical student who plans to complete a four-year degree. The topics covered include: simple harmonic motion, waves, light, electricity and magnetism. Problem solving is stressed. The course includes a lab each week covering the topics listed for this course.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHYS 1064. Topics include: wave motion, simple harmonic motion, electricity, and circuit analysis. The course includes a lab each week covering the topics listed for this course.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
A student may contract for one to four credit hours of independent study through an arrangement with an instructor who agrees to direct such a study. The student will submit a plan acceptable to the instructor and to the department chair. The instructor and student will confer regularly regarding the process of the study.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of PHYS 2064. Topics covered include: magnetism (Bio-Savart law, Ampere's law, Farady's law, Maxwell's equation), light (reflection, refraction, mirrors, lenses, interference, diffraction, gratings, spectra), and selected topics in modern physics. The course includes a lab each week covering the topics listed for this course.
