    2-2-3 This course is the capstone experience for the Photographic Imaging and Digital Video Production Programs. It teaches critical skills for the graduate who intends to seek employment in the field of photographic imaging or digital video production or transfer to a baccalaureate institution. Portfolio preparation will consolidate imagery digital video produced in previous courses into a unified body of work. Other components of the course include business aspects of the profession, legal issues, resume preparation and development of interview skills. Restricted to DVP and Photographic Imaging students only ($250). Prerequisite: (Eff. FL20) For Digital Video Production program students: DVP 120, DVP 130, DVP 140, DVP 150 must be taken prior to this course, and DVP 210 and DVP 220 may be taken concurrently with this course. For Photographi Imaging program students: PHOT 202 must be taken prior to this course, and PHOT 205 may be taken concurrently. Prerequisite:    (Eff.

    3-2-4 The study of scientific concepts which have had a revolutionary impact on Western civilization from early Greek ideas on planetary motion to the Newtonian Syntheses. By the selection of key topics from mechanics and astronomy, the student will gain an acquaintance with the historical development, methodology and philosophy of our understanding of the physical universe of classical physics. Treatment will be mostly non-mathematical. A two-hour laboratory per week is required. This is a general elective course suitable for students who have a laboratory science requirement, except for students in curricula which specify a different physics course.
