110 DEPARTMENT OP GENERAL EDUCATION FOR PHYSICAL SCIENCE W. R. Buss, H. P. Huish, E. S. Murphy, C. A. Osmond, F. E. Rabe The Department of General Education is a department within the Mathematics and Physical Science Division. The courses of this department consist of Physical Science 1 and 2 which are General Education courses. These courses are designed primarily for the non-physical science and non-engineering majors and aim to develop within the student: 1. An understanding and appreciation of the fundamental laws and principles of the physical universe, and their influence upon the history and behavior of man-kind. 2. An understanding of scientific progress both past and present. 3. A desire to apply scientific discovery to the betterment of humanity. 4. The ability to apply the scientific method of acquiring knowledge, to think clearly, to develop sound judgment, intellectual honesty, and personal integrity. Students who complete the nine credit hours in Physical Science 1 and 2 will have met the Physical Science group requirements for graduation. Students who elect to fill their group requirements with 12 credit hours from selected courses (see pages 30-33) will not receive credit for both Physical Science 1 and Physics 10. Students are encouraged to broaden their experiences by selecting courses from a variety of fields. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Physical Science 1. Integration of Physical Science. A general education course which aims to achieve the objectives of Weber College and those departmental objectives listed above by drawing instructional material from the fields of physics, meteorology, the atomic and molecular nature of matter, and the significance and use of chemical symbols and formula. Four lecture periods and one laboratory period a week. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Staff 2. Integration of Physical Science. A continuation of Physical Science 1, drawing instructional material from the fields of chemistry, geology, and astronomy. Three lectures and one discussion-laboratory period a week. Four quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. 11. History of Science. (See Philosophy 4.) Ill DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY R. S. Gray, A. J. Johanson, E. S. Murphy The Department of Chemistry offers four beginning courses in chemistry: Chemistry 1, 2, and 3, for students who desire elementary general chemistry, and who have not taken chemistry in high school; Chemistry la and 3, primarly for students in home economics; Chemistry 41 and 42 for some engineering students who need less than a year of chemistry; Chemistry 4, 5, and 6 for students who expect to major in the physical sciences, chemical engineering, the metal industries, medicine, dentistry, and the teaching of science, and who expect to take more than one year of chemistry. Because of the required subjects necessary for the physical sciences, students who plan to meet the requirements for the Bach-lor of Science Degree in Chemistry may not be able to complete the group requirements during the Freshman and Sophomore years. These group requirements may be completed during the Junior and Senior years. Students majoring in Chemistry should carefully plan their courses with the adviser. It is recommended that students pursuing a major in chemistry complete in their first two years Chemistry 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9; Mathematics 4, 7, 8, 9, 10; and Physics 4, 5, 6. A maximum of 15 credit hours in elementary chemistry (Chemistry 1, 2, la, 2a, 2b, 41, 42, 4, 5, and 6) will be credited toward graduation or accepted for credit. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Chemistry 1. General Chemistry. The fundamentals of inorganic Chemistry. It is open to any matriculated student, but is designed for those students who have not taken chemistry in high school.
