4.00 Credits
LECTURE, 3 HOURS; LAB, 3 HOURS Students survey the physical characteristics of the Earth and the forces acting upon it. The course includes consideration of the Earth's place in space; the nature of its crust and interior; the processes that affect its structure; and humanity's role in the processes. Meets the general studies core requirement in Nature.

4.00 Credits
LECTURE, 3 HOURS; LAB, 3 HOURS This noncalculus physics course develops the topics of waves, sound, light, electricity and magnetism, quantum theory, and structure of matter. Prerequisite: PHYC 201
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes a survey of engineering materials with emphasis on mechanical and physical properties and design considerations, ferrous and nonferrous metals, alloys, plastics, elastomers, cermets, ceramics, and adhesives. The methods of manufacturing are covered with special consideration given to design factors, productability, and economics relative to machining, forming, casting, working, welding, and powder metallurgy.

5.00 Credits
LECTURE, 4 HOURS; LAB, 3 HOURS Students are introduced to the various areas of physics using basic differential and integral calculus. Topics covered include properties of waves (both light and sound) and electricity and magnetism. Prerequisite: PHYC 251
-
3.00 Credits
Statics is the branch of physical science that deals with the rest state of bodies under the action of forces. It also includes resultants of force systems and equilibrium on rigid bodies using vector algebra, friction, centroids and centers of gravity, and moments of inertia of areas and masses. Prerequisite: PHYC 251
-
3.00 Credits
Dynamics is the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of bodies under the action of forces. Dynamics has two distinct parts: kinematics, the study of motion without reference to the forces that cause motion; and kinetics, which relates the action of forces on bodies to their resulting motions. Prerequisites: PHYC 252, and PHYC 301 or instructor's permission
-
3.00 Credits
Students study the fundamental concepts of electricity and magnetism, electrostatic fields in a vacuum and dielectric materials, solutions of Laplace's and Poisson's equations, and electromagnetic waves. Prerequisite: MATH 350 or instructor's permission
