analysis, measurement impedance concepts, resonance and filtering.

PSYC: PSYCHOLOGY COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

PSYC 101 GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY (FALL/SPRING) 3 CREDITS
This course is an introduction to basic research and theories in the field of psychology, including principles of learning, memory, brain and behavior
relationships, developmental and social psychology, psychological measurement, and an overview of personality and psychological disorders and
treatment.

PSYC 198 COOP-PSYC 12 CREDITS
Students must meet applicable program eligibility requirements and must submit program application materials to the Program Coordinator
prior to receiving permission from the instructor to register for this course. Program requirements can be found on the Career Development
Center website.
