PHYS 325 - Energy and the Environment

3 Credit(s)

Presents basic physical and quantitative concepts which are needed to understand energy and its environmental interaction. The physical laws come from mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, electricity, and nuclear reactions. A recurring theme is the extraction, transportation, conversion, distribution, end use, and dispersal of energy and the environmental impact of each step. Credit not counted toward the Physics major or minor. One semester of college science required. As warranted.
