| PHYS
1401 - COLLEGE PHYSICS I Algebra-based physics course for the science major in areas of biology, medicine, and pharmacy. Includes laws of motion, heat, work and energy, and sound. 4 credit hours. Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 1402 - COLLEGE PHYSICS II A continuation of Physics 1401. Includes electricity, magnetism, light, optics, relativity and atomic physics. 4 credit hours. If you are taking PHYS 1402 , you need important concepts from PHYS 1401. Read this document for details. Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 1403 - STARS AND GALAXIES Introduction to stars and galaxies; basic tools and concepts in astronomy and physics are discussed. Subjects studied include stellar evolution, supernovae, black holes, neutron stars, galaxies and quasars. Laboratory exercises, night observations, planetarium and observatory visits combine to enhance lecture material. Lab required. Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 1404 - SOLAR SYSTEM Introduction to the solar system; basic tools and concepts in astronomy and physics are discussed. Subjects studied include planets, moons, asteroids, comets, solar system formation, and solar system exploration. Laboratory exercises, night observations, planetarium and observatory visits combine to enhance lecture material. Lab required. Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 1405 - CONCEPTUAL PHYSICS This course presents concepts of classical and modern physics with application to biology and health sciences. What students should bring to this course is curiosity about how the world works. Intended for liberal arts, health science, or any majors. Lab required. Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 1410 - PHYSICS OF MUSIC AND SOUND This course is a study of the physics governing production, transmission and perception of sound. The focus is on the physical characteristics of sound, as well as the basic physical relationships that govern all vibrations and waves. We will also consider how sound is affected by the environment (acoustics) and how sound is physically and physiologically perceived. Laboratory exercises, classroom demonstrations combine to enhance lecture material. Lab required. Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 1415 - PHYSICAL SCIENCE I Investigation of everyday phenomena of the physical world, which helps students to achieve a well-grounded understanding of selected science concepts as well as the skills that enable and encourage rational independent thinking. Lab required Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 1417 - PHYSICAL SCIENCE II Investigation of topics in physics, chemistry, geology, and meteorology in the context of a one-semester astronomy course. Topics will include: Celestial measurement of time, calendars, and seasons; geology and meteorology of the Earth, Moon, and planets; Chemistry and physics of stars and galaxies; and the interdisciplinary question of life beyond Earth. Laboratory exercises and night observations combine to enhance lecture material. Lab required. Generic Course Syllabus |
| PHYS 2389 - ACADEMIC CO-OP PHYSICS Integrates on-campus study with practical hands-on work experience in physics. In conjunction with class seminars, the student will set specific goals and objectives in the study of physics. Contact the Cooperative Work Experience Office. Generic Course Syllabus |
