Thermodynamics (Phys 350)
Offered every other year..
Astronomy (Phys 253) and
Physical Science (Phsc 101 & 102).
Offered mostly in the Summer.
Physics With Calculus: Phys 211 covers mechanics and thermo-dynamics.
Phys 212 covers wave motion, sound, optics and electromagnetism.
Phys 211L and 212L are the lab components for Phys 211 and 212 .
Phys 211--212: Physics with Calculus is a course required for all students in the physical and mathematical sciences as well as in engineering and computer science. The course emphasizes understanding basic physics concepts and principles and their application in a variety of everyday problems. In this course, students learn analytical and conceptual problem solving skills That are indispensable for any future scientist or engineer.
Modern Physics (Phys 301): Modern physics is a logical continuation of Phys 212. Modern physics deals with physics of the 20th century. i.e., Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Atomic, Nuclear, Physics and Particle Physics. Any scientist, engineer, and/or science teacher should have some knowledge of Modern Physics
Thermodynamics (Phys 350): Phys 350 deals with heat as a form of energy, temperature and work. Emphasis is on the laws of thermodynamics and their application to simple systems such as heat engines.
Astronomy (Phys 253): Astronomy is the study of all matter and energy in the universe with emphasis on celestial objects such as planets, stars, galaxies, etc. It is the oldest, the most comprehensive and the most contemporary of the sciences. Phys 253 concludes with cosmology--the origin, evolution, and fate of the universe. Both non science and science majors enjoy this course.
Phsc 101 covers basic physics, Phsc 102 includes chemistry, earth science,
and some astrophysics. Phsc 101 and 102 are aimed at non science majors
who want to have a general knowledge of science.
Phys 332- Dynamics: This is a continuation of Phys 331-Statics . Phys 331-332
is a two-semester engineering mechanics course. This course are offered for the benefit of pre-engineers and applied physics minors
