Assignments relate to fine artphotography as well as commercial applications.Prerequisite: PHOT112Lab Fee RequiredPHOT250SPECIAL TOPICS IN PHOTOGRAPHYThis course focuses on selected topics in Photography.Since topics may change each time the course is offered,students should consult the course-offering schedule eachsemester.PHYSICSPHYS100CONCEPTS OF PHYSICS (4 Cr) (3:3)This course will introduce the student to the basic conceptsof Physics. Topics include kinematics and dynamics,principles of conservation of energy, heat and selectedtopics in electricity, magnetism and modem physics.Prerequisite: Proficiency on the <strong>College</strong> Placement TestPHYS105INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY (4 Cr) (3:3)This course provides an introduction to descriptive spacescience covering the historical development of astronomyand planetology. Basic physical laws are introduced to helpexplain the tools used in the investigation of solar systems.Appropriate laboratory experiences are provided.Prerequisites: MATH106 or higher, or permission ofInstructorPHYS107INTRODUCTORY METEOROLOGY (4 Cr) (3:3)This introductory course consists of five areas ofconcentration—atmospheric components; weather systems;upper air dynamics; satellite and radar interpretation ofsevere and weather elements; a review of historical weatherevents and their social and geographical effects; systemsexamined include hurricanes; severe thunderstorms and themesosyclone; forms of precipitation; hourly observations;cloud identification; interpretation NCEP/NOAH data forforecast modeling data.Lab Fee Requiredapplications to the life sciences and everyday life.Prerequisite: MATH112 (Grade of C)Lab Fee RequiredPHYS112PHYSICS II (4 Cr) (3:3)This course is a continuation of Physics I. Emphasis is placedon showing the connections found in electromagnetism,optics, and modern physics. Includes applications to thelife sciences and everyday life.Prerequisite: PHYS10l (Grade of C)Lab Fee RequiredPHYS120PHYSICS I WITH CALCULUS (4 Cr) (3:3)This course will introduce the student to problem solvingand laboratory techniques in calculus based physics. Topicsinclude vectors, forces, mechanics, kinematics, fluids,thermodynamics, and waves.Prerequisite: MATH113, MATH114 (Grade of C) (MATH114may be taken concurrently)Lab Fee RequiredPHYS121PHYSICS II WITH CALCULUS (4 Cr) (3:3)This course is a continuation of Physics I with Calculus.Topics include electromagnetism, circuits, electromagneticwaves, optics, and relativity.Corequisite: MATH115 (Grade of C)Prerequisite: PHYS120 (Grade of C)Lab Fee RequiredPHYS205MODERN PHYSICS (4 Cr) (3:3)This course covers the modem era of Physical Science fromRelativity, quantum properties, Schrodinger's equation, andtheir applications. It begins where PHYS121 ends (withOptical Systems) and finishes the student's introduction tobasic Physics concepts.Corequisite: MATH115, MATH215Prerequisite: PHYS121PHYS210/ENGR210MECHANICS (4 Cr) (4:0)This course studies the equilibrium of particles and rigidbodies subject to concentrated and distributed Newtonianforces. These studies are also applied to particles; rectilinearmotion; simple, damped, and driven oscillations; gravitationand central forces; Lagrange’s equations and theHamiltonian.Corequisite: MATH220Prerequisite: PHYS120 (Grade of C)COURSE DESCRIPTIONS • 7PHYS110PHYSICS I (4 Cr) (3:3)This course is designed to introduce students to problemsolvingtechniques in physics. Topics include forces, energy,mechanics, momentum, heat, and kinetic theory. IncludesPHYS250SPECIAL TOPICS IN PHYSICSThis course focuses on special topics in Physics. Since thetopics may change each time the course is offered, studentsshould consult the course-offering schedule each semester.123
