-
3.00 Credits
Explains energy in elementary scientific terms and examines present national and international energy situations related to sources, utilization, and environmental effects. Topics include fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and alternative energy sources such as hydroelectric, solar and wind.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to physical science concepts, their applications, and the nature of science through an examination of the life and work of Galileo to be taught in Italy, during the summer.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to a current understanding of the physical universe in terms of fundamental principles of physics. Basic concepts are studied and related to common phenomena and applications found in everyday life as well as more exotic phenomena one may come across in the news or popular-science media. The lecture will make frequent use of experimental equipment and commercial devices in demonstrations of physical principles.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces physics using sports as a context. Basic concepts in classical mechanics and fluid dynamics are used to analyze motion and interactions in baseball, basketball, football, soccer, track and field, and other sports. The lecture will make frequent use of demonstrations of physical principles, simulations, hands-on and kinesthetic activities.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides an introduction to the principles of sound and its reproduction. Designed for students majoring in audiology and speech pathology as well as other students interested in the discipline. No previous knowledge of physics or electronics is necessary, although a basic knowledge of algebra is expected.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
