PHSC 104 - Geology Laboratory
Credit 1
PHSC 115 - Physics in Everyday Life Credits 3 This course is intended for non-science majors who are seeking a connection between science and the world in which they live. It is intended to convey an appreciation for the physical sciences through the discovery of principles within objects of everyday experience and to show that science is not something to be feared but is indeed reflective of God's creativity, beauty and provision. Note(s): Approved for General Education Science credit. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. PHSC 117 - Physics I Laboratory Credit 1 Application of the laws and theories of mechanics, heat and sound through experiment. Laboratory to accompany Physics I. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours laboratory weekly. Note(s): Approved for General Education Science credit. Grade Mode: A. Corequisites: PHSC 111. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fees: $85. PHSC 118 - Physics II Laboratory Credit 1 Application of the laws and theories of electricity, magnetism, circuits and optics through experiment. Laboratory to accompany Physics II. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours laboratory weekly. Grade Mode: A. Corequisites: PHSC 112. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fees: $85. PHSC 119 - Physics in Everyday Life Laboratory Credit 1 The optional hands-on component for the lecture course that provides students experience with common laboratory tools for a better understanding and appreciation of the principles behind many of the objects of everyday life. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours of laboratory weekly. Note(s): Approved for General Education Science credit. Grade Mode: A. Prerequisites: PHSC 115 (concurrent registration permitted).

PHSC 121 - Introduction to Engineering Credit 1 A presentation of the opportunities of the many engineering specialties, historical and current trends, ethical and societal factors in engineering projects and examples of engineering design problems from professionals and through field trips. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fees: $70. PHSC 124 - Data Analysis and Presentation Credit 1 This course is intended for Chemistry, Physics and Engineering Department majors or anyone else interested in learning to develop their intuition for problem-solving using formal and informal techniques. Involves the use of MATLAB, Excel and other computer tools for data analysis. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fees: $70.
An optional laboratory experience designed to utilize hands-on investigations of geologic materials and processes, including minerals, rocks, topographic and geological maps, in order to support and augment the topics covered in the introductory geology course (PHSC 103). One field trip is required and is credited as one of the lab sessions. Lecture/Lab Hours: 3 hours per week. Note(s): Approved for General Education science credit. Grade Mode: A. Prerequisites: PHSC 103 (concurrent registration permitted). Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fees: $80. PHSC 105 - Topics in Physical Science Credits 1-3 A course designed to allow students to select specific modules from PHSC 101, Physical Science Survey, which include physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and/or meteorology; or from PHSC 111, PHSC 112, PHSC 132, PHSC 233 or PHSC 234. Note(s): Approved for General Education Science credit. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. PHSC 109 - Physics of Sound Credits 3 The basic concepts of sound wave mechanics, the mechanisms of sound and voice, hearing, speech perception, and an overview of the technology used in electronic recording. Lab activities include the use of frequency spectrum analyzers. Assumes no science background but will use high school algebra. Note(s): Approved for General Education Science credit. Counts toward the General Education Science requirement for all majors except Communication Disorders. Grade Mode: A, N. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fees: $40. PHSC 110 - Astronomy Credits 3 A conceptual astronomy course, designed to acquaint the student with the current state of knowledge of the solar system, the Milky Way, galaxies, quasars and cosmology. Note(s): Approved for General Education Science credit. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. Fees: $80. PHSC 111 - Physics I Credits 3 A study of mechanics, heat and sound.
