Course Description<br />

PSC 1050 Color, Light, and Sound 2NS 3 0 Designed for nonscience majors. Physical nature of light and sound including<br />

transmission, absorption, reflection, interference, and resonance. Applications<br />

include analysis of musical instruments, acoustics, optical systems,<br />

perception of color and sound.<br />

PSC 1051 Color, Light, and Sound 2NS 4 0 Designed for nonscience majors. Physical nature of light and sound including<br />

transmission, absorption, reflection, interference, and resonance. Applications<br />

include analysis of musical instruments, acoustics, optical systems,<br />

perception of color and sound.<br />

PSC 1310 Nano-Science and Technology 2NS 3 0 Introductory course covering an overview of the concept of scale, and of novel<br />

phenomema that arise as a function of scale, instrumentation that allows<br />

probing systems on the nanoscale, fabrication methods that yield nanoscale<br />

geometries, and the influence of this emerging field in our current and future<br />

lifestyles.<br />

PSC 1400 Observational Astronomy Laboratory 2NS 1 0 Experience with telescopes and locating stars, planets, and deep-sky objects<br />

in the night sky. Also covers major constellations, seasonal variations, lunar<br />

cycles, and, when appropriate, eclipses and comets. Should be taken as<br />

ASTR 1400.<br />

PSC 2050 Life on Other Worlds? 2NS 3 0 An exploration of ideas relating to the possibility that life exists elsewhere in<br />

the universe, both on planets and moons within our solar system, and within<br />

other planetary systems. The course begins by considering our planet's<br />

formation and the conditions which may have led to life appearing here, then<br />

moves outward. Students will learn the scientific basis of the age of the Earth<br />

and the Universe and the physical conditions necessary for planets around<br />

other stars to harbor life as we know it. Astronomical observations are<br />

discussed regarding what we know about extrasolar planets.<br />

AAS 1010 African American History I, 1526-1875 2SS 3 0 Examines economic, demographic, social, cultural and political topics in<br />

African American history from African origins to the Emancipation era. The<br />

evolution of race relations is an important component of this course, but the<br />

major emphasis will be placed on the experiences of Black people, the<br />

development of rural communities, and the potentiality and challenges facing<br />

interracial cooperation, within the framework of larger socio-economic and<br />

political processes in U. S. history.<br />
