PHY 102/103: Elements of Physics I/II
- This algebra based introductory Physics sequence introduces students to Physics: the study of motion, energy, and fluids in the fall and the study of electricity, magnetism, optics and thermodynamics in the spring. The course focuses on conceptual using peer instruction and just in time teaching, many of the materials are adapted from materials available at the University of Colorado Physics Education Research website.

PHY 110/102L: Intro Physics Lab: Mechanics, Momentum and Energy
- This course introduces
students to experimentation, data analysis and uncertainty, while
allowing them to get some hands-on experience with topics that are
covered in the lecture. Labs include experiments in motion, forces,
momentum and energy.

- This course introduces students to experimentation, data analysis and uncertainty, while allowing them to get some hands-on experience with topics that are covered in the lecture. Labs include experiments in electric fields, circuits, optics and sound.
- Sample Syllabus
- Introduction to Modern Physics with an emphasis on both the experiments and theory behind relativity, quantum mechanics, atomic physics, and nuclear physics.
- Sample Syllabus
- An introductory course in classical and modern optics. Classical topics include geometrical optics, diffraction, interference and polarization. Modern optics topics will be adapted to the interests of the students and may include topics such as lasers, nonlinear optics, or lidar. Laboratory experiments will be included to enhance the theoretical discussions.
