-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of PHYS211. Topics of study will include: electrostatics and electrodynamics, magnets statics and magnetodynamics, electromagnetic radiation, geometrical and physical optics, and an introduction to modern physics (including special and general relativity and quantum theory). Credit may not be earned for both PHYS112 and PHYS212. Co-requisite: PHYS212X (however, this course may be repeated without lab if PHYS212X has been successfully completed previously)
-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory experience directly related to the material in PHYS212. The activities are designed to develop a better understanding of the concepts covered in lecture, and to develop skills in measurement, error analysis, observation and interpretation. Computers will be used for data acquisition and analysis. Co- or prerequisite: PHYS212
-
3.00 Credits
2 class hrs. - 3 credits FALL, spring An introduction to the origin, structure and behavior of the Universe. From the starting point of medieval astronomy, the course progresses through a survey of the solar system; stars, galaxies, and stellar evolution; and ends with an examination of current thinking about cosmology. Suitable for both science and non-science majors, the course emphasizes the cultural, historical and humanistic contributions of astronomy.
-
3.00 Credits
A broad survey course covering the composition and structure of the Earth's surface, with an emphasis on the processes that have created and shaped it. Topics include: Plate Tectonics, earthquakes, volcanology, fluvial processes, the ocean and general geologic principles. This course is suitable to both science and non-science majors.
-
3.00 Credits
This laboratory compliments PSCI102, and includes such topics as Topographic maps, earthquake prediction, mineral and rock identification, water balance measurements, speleology and sediment transport. One field trip.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to improve geological skills through direct observation of geologic phenomena in the field. Mapping exercises will be combined with field trips to explore the geologic history of the Cobleskill region. While no prerequisites are indicated, good physical condition is strongly advised.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will aim to present the concept of sustainability in terms of physcial principles and the concept of energy. The central idea running through the course will be energy: its physical definition, its various forms (thermal, nuclear, chemical, solar, electrical, etc.) and processes involved in the production, extraction, distribution, and use of energy. We will examine traditional and non-traditional modes of energy production including the technologies of those modes of production and the associated advantages and disadvantages of each mode. The goal is to provide the student with a broad-based physical and technical understanding of energy and to provide him/her with a basis for evaluating, understanding, and deciding upon the complex energy issues of the 21st century.
-
3.00 Credits
This course considers the operational parameters of Planet Earth, stretching from its birth to the present day. Particular reference is made to the various natural cycles that keep it habitable, and the manner in which those cycles may have been compromised by its inhabitants. Recent technologies developed to return the earth to proper balance will round out the course. Prerequisite: MATH101 or higher
-
3.00 Credits
3 class hrs. - 3 credits FALL, spring Consideration of the methods and points of view involved in the scientific study of the psycho physical basis of human behavior with emphasis on maturation, intelligence, development, learning, motivation, personality and individual differences.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of human development from infancy through early adolescence. The dynamics of the behavior of children including physical, social, intellectual, emotional and environmental aspects are considered. Developmental, dynamic, behaviorist and phenomenological theories will be included. Prerequisite: PSYC111
