Project individually arranged by student and faculty sponsor. Requires completion of the Independent Study form and approval by the Faculty Sponsor, Academic Advisor, Department Chair and Academic Dean. Semester(s) Offered: Fall, Spring
This course is an overview and introduction to engineering design. Teams will do a needs assessment on a real world problem, develop specifications, iterate through possible solutions, and present a final product that attempts to fill that need. Topics in ethics, 3D modeling, and design for manufacturing will also be covered.

Applications of free-body techniques to the solution of practical engineering problems involving material bodies in a static equilibrium. Designed primarily as a one semester course for students interested in pursuing a career in engineering. Liberal arts
Newtonian formalism applied to engineering problems involving both particle dynamics and rigid body motion. Provides a foundation for students pursuing a career in engineering or physics. Liberal arts
This is a first course in modern physics, including topics in relativity, quantum mechanics, and their applications. This course may also include topics in solid state physics, nuclear structure/radioactivity, elementary particles, and cosmology. This course is to complement the two general physics courses taken prior to it. Liberal arts
An introduction to computational and numerical methods in physics. Includes an introduction to version control, documentation, collaborative code writing, and creating scientific quality plots. Numerical methods for differentiation, integration, curve fitting and optimization. Introduction to random variables and Monte Carlo methods. Examples are taken from problems in physics which cannot be solved using analytic methods only.
Laws of mechanics and thermodynamics applied to fluids at rest and in motion; potential flow; dimensional analysis; viscous flow; pipe flow; boundary-layer theory; compressible flow. Liberal arts

Develop the mathematical tools required for the solution of problems in physics and engineering. Emphasis on vector calculus, Fourier analysis, partial differential equations and boundary value problems. Liberal arts
An introductory course in electrodynamics covering both the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism as well as some more advanced topics. Static electric and magnetic fields in free space and in material media are covered as well as Maxwell’s equations and the propagation of plane electromagnetic waves. Techniques for solution of problems including Laplace’s equation, multipole expansion and Gauge transformations are introduced. Applications including transmission lines, radiation, and waveguides are also addressed. Liberal arts
An introductory course in quantum mechanics covering both the fundamental postulates leading to the development of non-relativistic quantum mechanics and an introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics starting with the Klein Gordon equation and the Dirac equation. Current topics including entanglement, quantum computing, and apparent quantum paradoxes are introduced in examples and using recently published papers. Liberal arts
Participation in research programs in physics, education in physics, or fields related to physics under the guidance of advisors. Liberal arts
