MAT-175 or MAT-191 3 -4
This is a first semester introductory physics course. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, gravitation, momentum, and energy with an emphasis on applications in the biomedical field.
This is the second half of a two-semester introductory physics sequence. Topics include fluids, waves, sound, light, optics, electricity, and magnetism with emphasis on application in the biomedical field.
This is a first-semester calculus-based general physics course. Topics include mechanics, kinematics, vectors, forces, Newton's Laws of Motion, gravitation, work, energy, momentum, and conservation laws. Problem solving is an essential part of the course. Classroom engagement activities are used to enhance problem- solving skills and to guide students toward a coherent comprehension of physics. Credits 3
This is the second-half of a two-semester calculus-based general physics sequence. Topics include fluids, oscillatory motion, waves, sound, optics, electrostatics, electricity, and magnetism. Problem solving is an essential part of the course. Conceptual understanding is reinforced through interactive classroom activities, including group problem solving and discussion questions.
This course involves experimental studies in mechanics, kinematics, gravitation, forces, momentum, and energy. The laboratory develops skills with basic sensors and measurement of physical quantities. Students work in small groups to record numerical data, assess measurement uncertainty, discuss concepts, and interpret results. Lab reports are assigned to help develop skills in scientific writing and communication.

This course will provide opportunities for freshmen and sophomores to participate in original laboratory research. Students will submit their findings in a forma written report and will give an oral presentation. Students will be expected to spend two to three hours per week in the laboratory and one to two hours per week outside the laboratory for each semester hour credit. Credits 1 -3

In conjunction with a faculty mentor, the student will formulate and execute an original research project that l will culminate in a paper and a presentation. A research proposal form completed by the students and faculty mentor are required to complete registration. The project must meet the Honors Program thesis requirements as well as the expectations of the departmental faculty. Credits 3
