Courses

Introduces the physical characteristics and applications of solid state devices. Topics include introduction to semiconductor fundamentals, diode applications, basic transistor fundamentals, basic amplifiers, and semiconductor switching devices.

This course provides in-depth instruction on the characteristics and applications of advanced solid-state circuits to include linear devices. Topics include safety practices, operational amplifiers, active filters and oscillators, switching circuits and timers, three-terminal voltage regulators, and special transistor applications.

Permission of Instructor The purpose of this course is to present advanced Design and Technical theatre students with challenges akin to those they will face as young professionals. The focus will be on students facing design and technical challenges they have not had the opportunity to engage with in their practical course work through unrealized "paper" projects, and to move students to design in at least one area that is not their primary area of interest.

Sonographers apply principles of ultrasound in the operation of medical sonographic equipment to produce a sonogram. Knowledge of the interaction of ultrasound with tissue is important for image optimization, acquisition and interpretation of sonographic images, and critical to the accurate diagnosis of disease. Introduces concepts for the factors involved with diagnostic ultrasound principles and instruments.

Provides a review of knowledge from previous courses and helps the student prepare for national certification examinations for sonography. Information concerning test taking skills will also be reviewed. Topics include: patient care, safety and communication, physics principles, ultrasound transducers, pulse-echo instrumentation, Doppler CENTRAL GEORGIA TECHNICAL COLLEGE instrumentation, and quality assurance/quality control of equipment.

This course is for BFA in Theatre candidates only and should be taken after successfully completing 45 credit hours or more. It is to measure and evaluate the competency of being cast or assigned one lead/major role/design-tech position per year (BFA students are required to earn at least one principal role/position in a UWG Theatre production per year).

A course designed to introduce Chemistry majors to current literature and career opportunities in Chemistry and allied fields. Faculty will present brief seminars pertaining to their research and topics of current interest. Students will carry out literature searches and make oral and/or written presentations on topics chosen in consultation with the instructor(s).

This course introduces sophomore-level Computing majors to potential career paths and current industry trends. Students will explore effective job search strategies, develop career-specific resumes, and gain insights into subdisciplinary and interdisciplinary opportunities. Emphasis is placed on understanding the importance of professional networking and its role in achieving career success.

This course introduces students to the process of asking big questions and pursuing those questions through literature reviews. It challenges students to make connections between their other courses in attempts to address the questions they formulate. Students will be expected to contribute to their e-portfolio.

Sophomore Physics Seminar is designed to help students transition into upper level physics courses. The course will help students develop a well rounded resume of experience relative to physics/engineering careers. The course will also include hands-on components that will enhance the overall classroom experience.
