9 courses with the subject PHYS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
PHYS 1110Introduction to Physical Sciences
(Cross listed with CHEM1110) Scientific Inquiry with Laboratory (SI-L) Natural Science Lab (NSL) This course is an introduction to physical science. Students will learn how to apply scientific concepts to create and understand scientific explanations of physical phenomena. Topics covered will include: motion, energy, heat, light, basic electricity, physical and chemical changes. This course is required for those planning on teaching at the elementary school level. This course is taught in a workshop format which integrates lecture and laboratory so that students will develop their understanding through hands-on experiments. Equivalent of three hours lecture, two hours laboratory. (Note: Elementary Education students require this course for their major and will be given registration priority in this course durin fall and spring semesters). Fall and spring semesters. 4 credits $105 lab fee
Scientific Inquiry with Laboratory (SI-L) Natural Science Lab (NSL) This course gives the student a tour of the universe, from our Sun and Solar System to the very edge of space and time itself. Topics may include, but are not limited to the eight planets; our Sun and the structure of the stars; nuclear fusion as a stellar energy source; stellar evolution; the Milky Way; galaxies and galaxy evolution; large scale structure; the fate of the universe; extrasolar planets and the possibility of life in the universe. Three hours lecture, two hours laboratory. Fall semester, odd years. 4 credits $105 lab fee
based) Scientific Inquiry with Laboratory (SI-L) This course is a mathematical treatment of introductory physics using calculus. This course provides an introduction to the classical mechanics of particles and rigid bodies. Topics include: vectors, momentum, energy, angular momentum, conservation laws, basic thermodynamics, Newton’s laws of motion, statics, projectile motion, oscillations, and orbits. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Fall semester. 4 credits $105 lab fee
based) Scientific Inquiry with Laboratory (SI-L) Natural Science Lab (NSL) This course is a mathematical treatment of introductory physics using calculus. This course provides an introduction to the classical theories of electromagnetism and optics. Topics include: electrostatistics, electric and magnetic fields, electric circuits magnets, Maxwell’s equations, waves, optics, interference, and diffraction. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. Spring semester. 4 credits MATH1112 $105 lab fee
(cross listed with IDS2410) Scientific Inquiry with Laboratory (SI-L) Natural Science Lab (NSL) This course provides an introduction to the science of sustainability and to selected issues in sustainable development. We fill focus on topics that are of major importance to Indonesia: (1) deforestation, (2) urbaniza- tion, and (3) depletion of marine resources. We will study three geographical regions Physics 2 of Indonesia as case studies: Borneo (de- forestation), Java (urbanization), and Bali (the oceans). We will examine the causes of these processes and their effects on people and the environment. Proposals for sustain- able solutions to the problems posed will also be evaluated. In the travel component of this course we will visit these regions to see the facts on the ground and how Indone- sians are trying to find their own solutions. Spring semester, odd years.
