Courses Taught

4 CRS.3 HRS.2 LAB HRS. SCI 120 SCI 120 (Computer Methods in Science): This course teaches a computer language and emphasizes application of programming methods for the sciences and engineering. Numerical methods will be applied to examples gleaned from physics, chemistry, and biology and engineering. Prerequisite: MAT 206
Course Syllabus
4 CRS.3 HRS.2 LAB HRS. AST 110 AST 110 (General Astronomy): This course introduces students to the world beyond the earth. The methods of astronomy and our knowledge of the structure of the universe are presented as an ongoing human endeavor that has helped shape modern man as he/she takes his/her first steps into space.
Course Syllabus
4 CRS.3 HRS.2 LAB HRS. PHY 110 PHY 110 (General Physics): This course serves as an introduction to Physics, especially for students who are not science-oriented. A selected number of basic physical ideas are carefully examined and interpreted non-mathematically. The relevance of the scientist and his/her work to the lives of non-scientists is continually examined.
Course Syllabus
4 CRS.4 HRS.2 LAB HRS. PHY 210 PHY 210 (Physics I): This classroom and laboratory two-semester course includes the study of concepts and principles of physics in the areas of mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, sound, electricity and magnetism, light, and atomic physics plus an introduction to quantum physics and relativity theory. Algebra and simple trigonometry are used. Two terms required. Prerequisite for PHY 220 is PHY 210
Course Syllabus
4 CRS.4 HRS.2 LAB HRS. PHY 215 PHY 215 (University Physics I): This is a two-semester course for students in science and engineering. Concepts of calculus are introduced and used when necessary. The lecture and laboratory exercises pertain to mechanics, fluids, heat and thermodynamics, wave motion, sound, electricity, and magnetism, geometric and physical optics, and an introduction to modern physics. For PHY 215, Co-requisite: MAT 302 For PHY 225, Prerequisite: PHY 215 and MAT 302 NOTE: Students cannot receive credit for both PHY 210 and PHY 215, or PHY 220 and PHY 225.

Course Syllabus
2 CRS.1 HRS.2 LAB HRS. ESC 113 ESC 113 (Computer Aided Analysis for Engineering): This course introduces topics important for engineers. Computer aided analysis techniques are introduced and used for the design and modeling of engineering systems such as electrical circuits, pipelines, signal and image processing, aircraft engines, orbits and trajectories, protein molecules and sewer treatment. Corequisites: MAT 206, CHE 201 or CHE 210, PHY 215 or departmental approval
