20 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.

Engineering Professional Development (EPD) Requirement The EPD requirement relates to the school's mission to develop job-ready engineers who prioritize the welfare of society. Fulfillment of the EPD is at the discretion of the Dean, Chair, or Program Director, and includes but is not limited to a professional enrichment activity, internship, or co-op. To fulfill this requirement, every student must submit a written report summarizing how their experience better prepares them for a career in engineering.
Special Topics Courses are occasionally offered based on varied topics in physics not available in regular courses. Prerequisites vary depending on the course design and include the consent of the instructor. Offered based on demand. Credits 1 -3
