Multi-Disciplinary Science Courses
Prerequisites: High School or college algebra and trigonometry or permission of the Department. Successful completion of all remedial English and remedial Reading requirements.
Description: An introductory study of Physics designed to acquaint the student with the fundamentals of kinematics, Newton's Laws of motion, circular motion and gravitation, work and energy, impulse and momentum, simple harmonic motion, temperature, heat, and thermodynamics. The topics will be developed analytically and experimentally. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI.
Credit Hours: 4
Department: Engineering/Physics/Tech
Prerequisites: High School or college algebra and trigonometry, PHY 101 or equivalent, or the permission of the Department. Successful completion of all remedial English and remedial Reading requirements.
Description: A continuation of the introductory study of Physics designed to acquaint the student with the fundamentals of wave motion and sound, electricity and magnetism, geometrical and physical (wave) optics, and selected topics in modern physics. The topics will be developed analytically and experimentally. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI.
Credit Hours: 4
Department: Engineering/Physics/Tech
Description: Pre-requisites: MAT 117 The course emphasizes an overview of the physical laws underlying selected topics in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and optics, and modern physics. The laboratory component involves exercises that are illustrative of physical principles in these areas as well as methods of observation, measurement and data analysis. Laptop computer required. Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
Credit Hours: 4
Department: Engineering/Physics/Tech
Prerequisites: Students must have a working knowledge of Algebra and Trigonometry or equivalent.
Description: This course studies natural phenomena and everyday life. Covering the fundamental laws and principles of mechanics, electricity, magnetism, sound and light, it provides a basic knowledge of the evolution of physical laws and the underlying concepts that are rapidly changing the way we live. The course material is developed descriptively and demonstrated experimentally. It includes student investigations in recitation and in lab to emphasize the experimental nature of science. Investigations will also be performed using computer software and the internet. The course will also include preparation of lesson plans, grading practices and hands-on experience in the presentation of materials. SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-LSCI.
Credit Hours: 4
