Grant Campus Course Adoption Proposal

SUFFOLK COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
LETTER-OF-INTENT
T0 COLLEGE ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR
CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Description of proposal idea and rationale.
(Proposer should present description of proposal idea on this page along with a
rationale for the proposal.)
The Department of Natural Sciences would like to adopt the following
courses:
Physics I, PHY 130
Physics I lab, PHY 132
Physics II, PHY 230
Physics II lab, PHY 232
This proposal is in response to the growth of physics on the Grant campus.
Seven years ago, we offered two physics courses per year, one in fall and
one in spring (PHY 101, 102). We presently offer five or six sections per
year and every semester every section fills. However, we have only offered
College Physics I/II, a non-calculus based physics, which may have some
transferability problems and PHY 112 Technical Physics (for HVAC and
Manufacturing Tech students). We have also had complaints from students,
usually LA&S Science Emphasis majors (biology emphasis), that they have
to drive to Ammerman to take Physics I and II. They prefer this calculusbased physics class as students know it will transfer to any SUNY college
toward a biology degree. Our biology majors have the choice to take
physics or organic chemistry but many do opt for the physics sequence.
Most students however have opted for organic chemistry to avoid the drive
to Ammerman for the physics. We hope to be able to give our students
better options in future semesters.
We are proposing to change our schedule to offer one each of PHY 101 and
PHY 130/132 during the fall semester in 2016. In the spring of 2017 we will
offer one section of PHY 102 and one section of PHY 230. Implementation of
Physics II lab will be delayed several semesters until funds can be acquired
to properly fit the present physics lab. This was decided after discussion
with our physics professor. Until that time, students will continue to take
the physics II lab on the Ammerman campus. Our department will be in
close contact with the Ammerman department every semester to ensure the
students’ needs are met adequately.
The physics chair on the Ammerman campus (Professor T. Breeden) has
been notified of our intent.

STOP!!
Unless you have submitted your Letter-of-Intent to the College
Associate Dean for Curriculum Development, Jennifer Browne at
[email protected], and received a Response form
back from her, do not continue with this proposal form.
This form is to be used for adopting a course that is already in existence at another campus. Course
adoptions are multi-campus proposals and must be approved by the College Curriculum Committee.
If possible, please attach an electronic copy of the original documentation establishing the course. If
the proposer wishes to initiate an inter-campus curriculum adoption, the New Curriculum Proposal
Form should be used. Guidelines and General Procedures for developing a Course-Adoption Proposal
can be found on the Governance Curriculum website.
Proposal Checklist
Please be sure you send ALL of the below documents and information in a single email to the College
Curriculum Chair, Tina Good, when you are ready to have the proposal considered by the College

GENERAL RATIONALE
Discuss reason(s) for teaching existing course at additional campus.
PHY230 is the lecture component of the second semester of Physics I/II sequence
and supports the LA&S Science Emphasis AS degree. This course sequence satisfies
the options listed for the LABI- AS, LAFR- AS and a requirement for LASC- SC that
were recently approved by the CCC and College Governance.
Over the last 10 years, the Grant campus has experienced unprecedented growth,
especially in the sciences where typically all sections fill each semester. The
Department of Natural Sciences needs to expand to accommodate that growth.
The Physics I/II sequence is one catalog choice for the science electives toward a
LA&S Science Emphasis; Biology Option AS degree (there are over 200 biology
majors on the Grant campus). Presently there are only 2 choices for completion of
Science electives; Organic Chemistry I/II or PHY101/102. As the PHY 101/102 will
only transfer as an elective, biology majors are required to retake physics upon
transferring. Taking a calculus-based physics course will give them additional
options and better prepare them for transfer.
Grant campus students taking Physics I/II courses presently drive to the
Ammerman campus to do so. This is often a costly inconvenience for most and
impossible for many Grant students. Additionally, with adoption of the Physics I/II
sequence, Grant students would be able to complete a full Chemistry Option AS
degree on their home campus as well as two of the Earth and Space Options
(geology sequence and astronomy sequence).
The first semester physic courses PHY130 (Lecture) and PHY 132 (Lab) have
already been approved by the curriculum council and are scheduled to run in fall
2016. The proposed course is necessary for the completion of the sequence.
The proposed course, if approved, will run in spring 2017. The enrollment is
expected to be enough to fill a class of 24 students with many continuing students
enrolling from the preceding semester.

COSTS
A.
List costs and space requirements
There will be no additional costs. PHY 130 is a lecture class and would
be replacing one of the two PHY 102 sections in the Grant campus
schedule.

IV.
Number of faculty available to teach course
One new full time faculty member would be hired if demand for the
course is realized as expected. A current physics full time or adjunct
faculty member in collaboration with Ammerman campus discipline
faculty and administrators will initially teach the course.

outline is the specific document created by the individual faculty member to distribute to a specific
course section. Please see the Faculty Handbook for further details as to what to include in a course
outline. A SAMPLE course outline should be attached below.)
