Physical Science
PSCI 1030 An Introduction to Physical Science (4) This course
is an interdisciplinary approach to the biological, chemical
and
physical world with an emphasis upon the diversity of living
organisms, their interdependence and their relationship
to physical
and chemical principles and forces. The course is designed
for nonscience
majors to develop understanding and appreciation of their
world. PREREQUISITES: Acceptable placement score; or DSPR

per week.
PSCI 110D Scientific Methods and Values (2-3) A course
designed
to teach critical thinking skills through the application
of scientific
methods and values. Students will research some of the more
controversial topics of the late twentieth century and write
short
papers on each. Class time will largely be spent discussing
these
topics. Two or three lecture hours per week. (Same as BIOL
110D)
PSCI 200P* Science Practicum (3) Students will study methods
for
effective tutoring in science with practical experience
in the Math
and Science Laboratory, Open Review Lab, Peer Tutoring and/or
Study Group Mentoring. Students will enhance their own scientific
understanding and insight in a given discipline as a result
of
communicating what has been previously mastered.
PREREQUISITES: Completion of the sequence in which the student
will tutor and completer status. Student must be recommended.
Five
laboratory hours per week. Not intended for transfer.
Physics
A student may couple PHYS 1030 with ASTR 1030, BIOL
1030, BIOL 1040, CHEM 1030, GEOL 1030, or PSCI 1030 (refer
to
Natural Science - General Education Core) to complete the
8-hour
Natural Science Requirement.Credit toward graduation cannot
be
received for both courses in any pair: (PHYS 2010, PHYS
2110);
(PHYS 1030, PHYS 2010); (PHYS 1030, PHYS 2110).
PHYS 1030 Introductory Physics (4) An introductory study
of
selected topics in physics including mechanics of linear
and
curvilinear motion, energy gravitation, vibrations and waves,
sound
electricity, magnetism and some atomic and nuclear physics.
Note
the preceding introductory discussion concerning course
credits.
PREREQUISITES: Academic assessment with all developmental
studies requirements completed. Three lecture, two laboratory
hours
per week.
PHYS 2010 Non-Calculus Based Physics I (4) An introduction
to mechanics. Includes study of conservation principles
of energy
and momentum, statics, rotational motion, fluid motion and
vibrational
motion. Designed primarily for pre-professional health students.
PREREQUISITE: MATH 1720 with a grade of C or better. Three
lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
PHYS 2020 Non-Calculus Based Physics II (4) A continuation
of
PHYS 2010. Topics include light, optics, electricity, magnetism
and
modern physics. PREREQUISITE: PHYS 2010. Three lecture,
three
laboratory hours per week.
PHYS 2110 Calculus-Based Physics I (4) An introduction to
mechanics. Among the topics covered are the kinematics and
dynamics of linear motion, the conditions for static equilibrium,
the
principles of conservation of energy and of momentum, Newton's
law of gravitation, the kinematics and dynamics of rotational
motion,
simple harmonic motion, mechanics of solids and fluids and
thermodynamics. Differential and integral calculus and simple
vector
analysis are used throughout. Designed primarily for students
intending to major in physics, chemistry, or mathematics;
required
of all students in the Engineering curriculum and strongly
recommended for students planning to teach mathematics or
science
in secondary schools. PREREQUISITE: MATH 1910. COREQUISITE:
Calculus sequence. Three lecture, three laboratory hours
per week.
PHYS 2120 Calculus-Based Physics II (4) A continuation of
PHYS 2110. Topics include wave motion, electricity and magnetism,
light, geometrical and physical optics. PREREQUISITE: PHYS
2110.
Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
PHYS 200* Principles of Technology (4) A study of the physical
and chemical principles that relate to today's industry.
Topics
included are the laws of motion, levers, forces, structure
of matter,
heat and electricity. Hands-on approach to learning will
be
encouraged. PREREQUISITES: MATH 160*, MATH 1720, or MATH
165*. Three lecture, two laboratory hours per week.
PHYS 276T* Selected Topics in Physics/Physical Science (1-6)
