7 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 111Physical Science I. F., Sp3
An introduction to the physical sciences including topics from geology, introductory chemistry, and astronomy. Designed for the non-science major. This course has a laboratory component and will meet for three (3) hours each week.
An introduction to the physical sciences including topics from general physics and meteorology. Designed for the non-science major. This course has a laboratory component and will meet for three (3) hours each week.
An algebra-based study of physics. This course introduces students to kinematics in one and two dimensions, kinetics, friction, work, energy, momentum, rotational dynamics, gravitation, static equilibrium, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, and sound. This course meets for three (3) hours of lecture and three (3) hours of lab each week. This course includes a significant writing component. Prerequisite: MAT 120 Pre–Calculus.
A continuation of PHS 201. This course introduces students to electric forces and fields, capacitance, AC and DC circuits, magnetic fields, inductance, electromagnetic waves, light, optics, interference, diffraction, and selected topics from modern physics. This course meets for three (3) hours of lecture and three (3) hours of lab each week. This course includes a significant writing component. Prerequisite: PHS 201 General Physics I.
PHS 211Physics for Science and Engineering I. (W) F4
A calculus-based study of physics designed primarily for students majoring in chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and pre–engineering. This course is required of all pre– engineering, chemistry, and biochemistry students and is recommended for students certifying to teach physics in the secondary schools. This course introduces students to kinematics in one and two dimensions, kinetics, friction, work, energy, momentum, rotational dynamics, gravitation, static equilibrium, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, and sound. This course meets for three (3) hours of lecture and three (3) hours of lab each week. This course includes a significant writing component. Prerequisite: MAT 122 Analytics and Calculus I. 381
PHS 212Physics for Science and Engineering II. (W) Sp4
A continuation of PHS 211 and a requirement of all pre–engineering, chemistry, and biochemistry students. This course introduces students to thermodynamics, the kinetic theory of gases, electric fields and potential, capacitance, resistance, AC and DC circuits, magnetic fields, inductance, electromagnetic waves, light, optics, interference, diffraction, and selected topics dealing with relativity, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics. This course meets for three (3) hours of lecture and three (3) hours of lab each week. This course includes a significant writing component.
PHS 299B/399B. Environmental Pollution. January two–week course3
An introduction to the major causes of environmental pollution. Environmental policies and the economic implications of pollution will be emphasized. Same as BIO 299I/399I.
