Course/Program Description |
| PHYS 102 (3) Physics in the World Around Us |
A one semester course which covers the basic principles of physics on a conceptual level. The course provides an understanding of natural processes and their applications to technology (or how things work!), including the green house effect and nuclear power. |
| PHYS 211 (4) Principles of Physics I |
General background in physical concepts for those who do not plan advanced study in physics or engineering. Topics include mechanics, fluids, heat and thermodynamics. |
| PHYS 221 (4) General Physics I |
Designed for science and engineering students. Calculus-based physics. Covers elementary mechanics including kinematics, statics, equilibrium and dynamics of particles, work and energy, rotational motion, gravitation, and oscillation. |
| PHYS 223 (3) General Physics III |
Designed for science and engineering students. Calculus-based physics. Covers fluids, thermodynamics, mechanical and sound waves, geometrical optics, physical optics, and modern physics. |
| PHYS 417 (2) Biophysics |
Thermodynamic relationships; energy flow in living systems; metabolic heat generation and loss; homeostasis; atomic and molecular bonds in nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates; hormonal regulation; cell metabolism; negative feed back control in living systems; cancer therapy; imaging; disease states; new theories and paradigms. |
| PHYS 473 (3) Statistical Physics |
Statistical mechanics, kinetic theory, thermodynamics. |
