10 courses with the subject PHS, 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.
PHS 1101Physical Science Laboratory1
Credits: 1 hr This is a laboratory course to accompany PHS 1301 . Experiments are designed to help students understand the basic laws and facts of the physical sciences, which provide the starting points for scientific thought.
PHS 1301 Student Learning Outcome: Scientific Literacy Area of Knowledge: Natural Sciences
PHS 1103Introduction to Planetary Science Laboratory1
Credits: 1 hr This is a laboratory course to accompany PHS 1303 . Experiments are designed to help students understand the basic laws and facts of planetary science.
PHS 1303 Student Learning Outcome: Scientific Literacy Area of Knowledge: Natural Sciences
PHS 1301Physical Science3
Credits: 3 hrs This course reviews selected topics from the fields of chemistry and physics integrated to develop the fundamental concepts of space, mass, time, and energy.
Credits: 3 hrs In this course subject matter is drawn from the fields of astronomy, geology and meteorology. The work embodied in the course includes a study of celestial bodies, the solar system, the history and structure of the earth, and the natural forces which act on the earth and in its atmosphere. Demonstrations, experiments, field trips, and visual aids supplement the lectures.
Credits: 3 hrs This course will explore the scientific principles associated with the environment and methods of harnessing renewable energy. Topics covered will include: environmental principles and technologies for utilizing renewable energy sources (i.e., wind, solar, and ocean currents) as well as bio-fuels, and fuel cells and their potential economic impact and effect on climate change, and global warming. In investigating energy needed for a sustainable future, this course compares the recent developments and innovations in various countries in resolving the future global energy crisis and reduction of global environmental pollution.
Credits: 3 hrs This course will focus on the chemical and physical aspects of the environment. The Earth’s natural systems, as well as the effects of human activities on the environment will be explored. Scientific principles will be applied to investigate natural flows of chemicals, water and energy in terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric systems, and how humans impact these natural flows and systems. Environmental issues related to health and disease, nuclear waste disposal, water resources, energy use and conservation, land reclamation, global climate change, and industrial pollution will also be addressed.
PHS 1309Behind the Beauty: Skin, Hair, Cosmetic Science, and Society3
Credits: 3 hrs This introductory course exposes students to the science behind everyday beauty and personal care products. Designed for both science and non-science majors, it explores how cosmetics work, how they are formulated, how safety is evaluated, consumer trends, culture and how personalization influences the industry. Students will gain data fluency through enhancing scientific literacy and real-world applications.
