-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 213; credit or concurrent enrollment in MATH 250 This course is a continuation of PHYS 213, a study of modern physics for students majoring in engineering, mathematics , physics, or chemistry. Topics include special relativity; interference and diffraction; photons, matter waves, and the uncertainty principle; wave mechanics; atomic structure and potential wells; solid-state physics and conduction; nuclear and elementary particle physics.
-
3.00 - 5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 223; enrollment in MATH 224; completion of PHYS 115 or appropriate score on the Physics Placement Test This course is a study of mechanics and thermodynamics, concentrating primarily on topics in mechanics. The content area is designed for students majoring in engineering, mathematics or chemistry. A rigorous mathematical application is made in describing static, dynamic and thermodynamic systems. Four lecture, three laboratory, and one voluntary discussion hour per week. (The review session will concentrate on problem-solving and will not be used to introduce new lecture materials. Students having difficulty with the course content will be strongly encouraged to attend.) [IAI: P2 90]

3.00 - 5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion of PHYS 220 and MATH 224 This course is a continuation of PHYS 220 concentrating on areas of electricity, optics, and modern physics. The content is designed for students majoring in engineering, mathematics or chemistry. Rigorous mathematical derivations are used to develop concepts in electromagnetic theory, wave-particle duality of light, and quantization. Four lecture, three laboratory, and one voluntary discussion hour per week. [IAI: BIO 904]
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None This course will facilitate student development of science literacy through the implementation of student/faculty-generated science investigations, utilizing instruction across disciplines in collaboration with faculty members in all departments. This course is intended specifically for students to prepare for transfer level science courses.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None This course provides students not majoring in science with an opportunity to study world energy and environmental problems while learning basic concepts of physical science. It surveys topics of availability of energy resources, storage and consumption of energy, alternate sources of energy, and measurement and management of energy as they relate to our planet's life-support capabilities. Recommended for students who desire to build a background of information useful in keeping abreast of future developments in areas such as construction, transportation, industry, business, agriculture, economics and marketing. [IAI: P9 90]
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None The nuclear arms race is a major problem which faces our modern society. This course provides students with an opportunity to study the scientific, technological and social factors underlying the 40-year buildup of nuclear weapon arsenals. This course is recommended for all students who are interested in the issue of human survival.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None This course explores the origin and nature of the universe, intergalactic space, and the motion within the celestial sphere. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week including instruction at Planetarium and Observatory. [IAI: P1 90]
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None This course is designed to prepare students for the examination on the Constitution of Illinois and of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Flag and the Australian ballot system, as required by Illinois state law.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None This course presents contemporary American political behavior, government and power relationships at the national level. [IAI: S5 900]
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: None This course, State and Local Government is designed to familiarize students with the governance structure at the state and local levels. It is also focused on the decision-making processes at those levels of government and the ways in which these entities interact with the national government. A primary emphasis of the course will be a comparative approach with a view toward understanding policy outcomes at all levels of government. Specific attention will be focused on education, criminal justice, health/welfare, environment, and economic development. [IAI: S5 902]
