Fall, Spring This course explores the impact of both classical and contemporary ideas on post-modern society. It will explore the nature of intellect and define and discuss the meaning of abstract thought. The course will seek to understand the relationship between place, time and thought and will thus look closely at the social and historical location occupied by all of the thinkers discussed throughout the semester. Finally, this course will focus on post-modern American institutions such as the economic, political, health care, leisure, religious and legal and analyzing the ways in which each institution has been shaped by the power of ideas emanating from both the past and the present. Open to students enrolled in the Liberal Arts and Science - Honors Program or by permission of department chair.

3.00 Credits
Fall Lab fee will be required. This course is the first half of a two-semester course designed to prepare the Individual Studies student for entrance into a technical program of his or her choosing. The student will begin by learning some basic tools such as powers-of-10 notation, graphing techniques and vector addition. Then these tools will be applied in the areas of linear motion, forces, energy, heat and temperature, sound, and the reflection and refraction of light waves. Credits earned in this course may not be applied toward the associate degree.

3.00 Credits
Offered on demand. Lab fee will be required. In a continuation of PHYS 095, Foundations of Physics I, the student will investigate DC electricity, magnetism, and the spectrum of electromagnetic waves. In addition, the student will learn about some of the more recent physical phenomena such as radioactivity, x-rays, the photoelectric effect, fission, fusion and the present day applications of each of these. This course does not grant college credit.

3.00 Credits
Fall, Spring Lab fee will be required. Acourse intended to give the non-science major a basic background in principles of physics and chemistry which affect everyone's life. Fundamental concepts of force, motion, energy, electricity, nuclear reactions and chemistry are covered descriptively in lecture. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, but the student will be exposed to metric measurements, powers-often notation, graphs and simple algebraic relationships. One class hour each week is spent in a laboratory environment where students can "prove" certain principles for themselves.

3.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer Lab fee will be required. This course is a lecture course intended for nonscience majors in which the principles of meteorology, geology and astronomy are covered. However, students spend one class hour each week in a laboratory environment where they learn to interpret weather and topographic maps, identify common minerals and rocks, and complete various exercises to help them gain an understanding of other meteorologic, geologic and astronomical phenomena.

3.00 Credits
Fall, Spring, Summer, DL This is a one-semester laboratory course in descriptive astronomy covers planetary stellar and galactic astronomy appropriate for non-science majors. It is offered as a Web-based course only. Students will be able to use celestial coordinates and constellations to locate celestial objects. Theywill be able to demonstrate aworking knowledge of the properties of stars, planets, moons, comets, and meteors, nebulae and galaxies. They will be able to demonstrate a basic understanding of the origin and make-up of the solar system and cosmos.

4.00 Credits
Fall Lab fee will be required. The health technologies student becomes familiar with physical concepts in static and dynamic fluids, ideal gases, energy, and thermodynamics through a problem-solving approach. The student's understanding is reinforced by weekly experiments in which he or she gains laboratory skills and experience in the analysis of data.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall Lab fee will be required. A one-semester course designed especially for construction students. Fundamental principles of physics are presented in a wide variety of areas. Some of the topics covered are motion, Newton's Laws, vectors, work and energy, hydraulics, strength of materials, statics, thermal effects, wave motion, single and double lens optics, and fundamental electricity. Where appropriate, the emphasis is on technical application to the construction field.

4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring A course in applied physics designed to meet the needs of the Verizon Telecommunications Technology student. The student will study topics in mechanics, light, electricity and magnetism, elementary thermodynamics and modern physics and their relation to the field of communications.
-
4.00 Credits
Fall, Spring Lab fee will be required. A course in applied physics with special emphasis on topics related to the field of communication technology, including fundamental mechanics, the physical phenomena of light and its propagation and certain aspects of elementary thermodynamics. Prerequisite:MATH 140,Mathematical Applications I. Corequisite:MATH141,Mathematical Applications II.
