-
3.00 Credits
PHIL 465 -- Metaphysics (3) Problems of metaphysics; freedom and determinism, fate, time and becoming, and God. Prerequisite: two courses in Philosophy. (Replaces PHIL 365.)
-
3.00 Credits
PHIL 475 -- Seminar In Philosphy (3) The Philosophy Seminar will take a specific topic or philosopher's work and pursue it in a rogorous manner modeled on graduate level seminars in philosophy. the focus will be on tackling original material, both primary and secondary, central to the topic or theme of the seminar. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing and three courses in Philosophy.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
PHYS 100 -- Physical Science (3) A course for non-science majors and constructed to meet the needs and requirements of students in the Elementary Education curriculum. The laboratory activities are the central focus of the class, using active inquiry and collaborative group work to guide students toward discovering the nature of physical phenomena. The topics studied are chosen broadly from physics, typically including consideration of properties of matter and mechanical behavior, light, heat, the causes of geophysical phenomena such as tides, seasons and the movement of celestial objects. Lab required. Fall and Spring. Gen Ed: SP & LB credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
PHYS 101 -- College Physics I (4) The first term of a non-calculus two term sequence (with PHYS 202) of introductory physics. The course is constructed to meet the needs of students who desire an introductory physics course of two-term duration. The first term covers motion and mechanical forces; work, energy and power; gravity; oscillations, waves and sound; heat. College Physics places a greater emphasis on an understanding of qualitative properties and less on the development of skill in analytical methods and computation compared to University Physics. Fall. Gen Ed: SP & LB credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
PHYS 103 -- University Physics I (4) This is the first course in the sequence intended for physics majors, 3/2 engineering, and other science majors who want a more detailed introduction to physics with calculus as a corequisite. Topics covered fall under the heading of mechanics; i.e. motion, Newton's laws, dynamics, work, energy, momentum, and rotation. Lab required. Corequisite: MATH 151. Fall. Formerly General Physics I. Gen Ed: SP & LB.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
PHYS 130 -- Musical Acoustics (3) The physics of music and sound. A study of the physical properties and processes related to the production of sound with particular attention to musical sounds: vibrations and oscillations as the sources of waves and wave properties, and those of sound waves in particular; the mathematical and psychophysical basis of musical scales; the structure and function of the human ear and how it detects and processes sounds; how musical instruments produce the sounds that they do and the similarities and differences among them; the physical properties behind musical characteristics, such as pitch, loudness and timbre (quality): aspects of environmental sound, including loudness, reflection and absorption. Examples of the phenomena are furnished by classroom demonstrations using oscillation and wave apparatus and actual musical instruments. Neither high school physics nor prior musical instruction is expected or required. Students enrolling in this course are encouraged to register at the same time for PHYS 131, when it is offered. Gen Ed: SP credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
PHYS 202 -- College Physics II(4) Developing problem solving skills in the introductory topics in College Physics 2. Topics include electricity, magnetism and modern physics. Lecture, Lab or Recitation. Prerequisite: PHYS 101. Spring. Gen Ed: SP & LB credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
PHYS 204 -- University Physics II (4) Part II of the calculus-based sequence and covering statics, wave motion, sound, heat, and thermodynamics. Lab required. Corequisite: MATH 152. Prerequisite: PHYS 103. Spring. Formerly General Physics II. Gen Ed: SP & LB credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
PHYS 305 -- University Physics III (4) Laws of electromagnetic are fundamental to understanding of the behavior of matter from tiny atom to enormous galaxies. Studies of electric charges, currents, field and circuits, the magnetic field, and properties of light. Exploration of electromagnetic phenomena, understanding of basic electrical machines, lab experiements in electricity, magnetism and optics. Intended for students interested in science or engineering, technology and applications of mathematics. Lab required. Pre-requisite: PHYS 204. Fall. Formerly General Physics III. Gen Ed: WI, SP & LB credit.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
PHYS 306 -- Modern Physics (4) Major developments in physics beginning around 1900. Topics include the mind-warping theory of Einstein's relativity and the behavior of particles at high speed, and the quantum physics of the tiny worlds of the electron in atoms and molecules. Laboratory work includes study of pioneering experiments leading to the frontiers of present day research and development and developing problem solving skills in the study of matter at small scales, specifically, at the quantum level. Lab required. Pre-requisite: PHYS 305. Spring.
