(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. 2 PHY230 Physics II (AG) Grant Campus Course Adoption Proposal September 2016 SUFFOLK COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE RESPONSE TO PROPOSAL FROM COLLEGE ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT College Associate Dean for Curriculum Development uses this form to respond to the proposal with instructions for further developing proposal (e.g., which forms to use, the campuses and departments who need to be consulted, items to be considered when developing the proposal.) ****************************************************************** TO: Dr. Janet Haff, Department Chair, Grant Campus FROM: Jenn Browne, College Associate Dean for Curriculum Development DATE: September 18, 2015 *********************************************************** Comments: I have reviewed the letter of intent to adopt the following physics courses for the Grant campus: PHY130: PHY132: PHY230: PHY232: Physics Physics Physics Physics I I Lab II II Lab Please proceed with the proposal by completing a Course Adoption Proposal Form for each course.

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.

Haff, Dr. Vivek Kumar____ I. 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. 5 PHY230 Physics II (AG) Grant Campus Course Adoption Proposal September 2016 II. RELATIONSHIP TO STUDENTS A. Proposed cycle for offering (e.g., fall, spring, and summer) PHY 230 will be offered each spring semester. B. III. Estimate of student enrollment 24 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. B. 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.
