4.00 Credits
This is an algebra-based introduction to the basic concepts of classical mechanics. Major topics will include Newton's laws, motion in one, two and three dimensions, periodic motion, thermodynamics, energy, hydrodynamics, and an introduction to material science. The course will emphasize applications to "real world"problems. Laboratories are designed to allow the student to visualize the important concepts introduced in lecture and to increase student understanding of the scientific process. There will be three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week. Prerequisite: MAT* 137 or MAT* 186; MAT* 186 may be taken concurrently
-
4.00 Credits
This is a continuation of PHY* 121. Major topics will include a continuation of the study of solids, electrical phenomena, magnetic phenomena, light and Maxwell's equations. Laboratories will center around studying electro-magnetic phenomena and enhancing student knowledge of the relationship between electricity, magnetism and light. There will be two hours of lecture, one hour of problem solving, and three hours of lab each week. Prerequisite: PHY* 121
-
4.00 Credits
This is a calculus-based introduction to the basic concepts of classical mechanics. Major topics will include Newton's laws, motion in n-dimensions, periodic motion, thermodynamics, energy, hydrodynamics, and an introduction to material science. The course will emphasize the theoretical aspects of physics and will help the student develop effective problem solving strategies. Laboratories will be designed to allow the student to visualize the important concepts introduced in lecture and to increase student understanding of the scientific process. There will be three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week. Prerequisite: MAT* 254 (may be taken concurrently)
-
4.00 Credits
This is a continuation of PHY* 221. Major topics will include continuation of the study of solids, electromagnetic phenomena, Maxwell's equations, and atomic and sub-atomic phenomena. Laboratories will center around studying electromagnetic phenomena and enhancing student knowledge of the relationship between electricity, magnetism and light. There will be three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week. Prerequisite: PHY* 221
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits An introduction into polymer materials to include the fundamental concepts of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, viscosity and polymerization. Topics will include all of the major classes of thermoplastic materials, additive systems, and address both material properties and their applications. Prerequisite: MAT* 137 and CHE* 121
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction into the fundamentals of plastic extrusion. Topics will include such disciplines as sheet, cast film, blown film, wire & cable coating, compounding, laminating, pipe and profile extrusion. Emphasis will be placed on the cause and effect relationship between resin and process parameters through lecture and laboratory instruction. Prerequisite: MAT* 095 or placement at college level math on Basic Skills Assessment
