28 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 115Conceptual Physics4
Meets GOAL 3. Many demonstrations, everyday applications, and hands-on interactive simulations are used to make physics understandable to the general education student. Non-mathematical approach. Lab. Not open to students with credits in higher numbered, non-aviation physics courses. Grade or P/NC. Offered each semester. Course Registration
Meets GOAL 3 and GOAL 10. This course focuses on energy needs, trends, and long-term prospects and resource supplies. The physics of energy, atoms, nuclei, thermal energy, solar energy, alternative energies, and consequences of energy production are discussed. The present governmental energy policy will be discussed along with proposed changes to the policies. Grade or P/NC. Offered each semester. Course Registration
Meets GOAL 3 and GOAL 10. This course focuses on the current physics and technology that shape our world today so that classroom participants can make informed economic, social, and political decisions in areas such as energy, terrorism, climate change, technology, and other relevant topics. Even if you are not a future president, this course is still for you. Grade or P/NC. Offered each semester. Course Registration
Meets GOAL 9. A lecture-lab course that introduces students to some of the tools and thought processes of engineering design. Students will work through three engineering design cycles. Class time will be a mixture of lecture, discussion, and lab work. Theoretical topics include: engineering design, constraints, resources, economics, ethical and social considerations, reverse engineering, and continuous improvement cycles. Practical topics include: computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing and laser cutting, introductory programming, and basic electric circuits. Grade or P/NC. Offered annually (usually fall semester). Course Registration
Meets GOAL 3. This is a lecture and laboratory course about sound and acoustics, relating music and physics and other associated topics, including environmental noise, room acoustics, and digital audio recording and editing. Grade only. Offered annually. Course Registration
Meets GOAL 3. An integrated Physical Science experience through inquiry-based, hands-on exploration of Physics and Chemistry content. Emphasis on science education principles and connections to state and national science education standards. Lecture and laboratory combined. Field trips required. Grade only. Offered when demand warrants.
This course will serve as an introduction and preparation to the fields of study and careers in physics. Students will also be required to attend the occasional physics seminars. Must be passed four times: twice during their first year (once in fall and once in spring) and twice during their junior year (once in fall and once in spring). P/NC only. Offered each semester. Repeatable. Course Registration
