SSE anco PHYSICS Although the classes are small, science and engineering students at ECC perform a variety of experiments utilizing a well-equipped physics laboratory. The first two years of virtually every engineering and physics program offered by the state universities of Kentucky can be completed at Elizabethtown. In addition, a special physics course for pre-med students is offered. ASTRONOMY A fascinating study, new equipment in- cluding a six-inch Newtonian reflector tele- scope, and recent advances in space have combined to make astronomy one of the most popular courses offered. Its non-math- ematical descriptive approach meets the needs of our non-science majors as well as our science and engineering students. There are eighty-five currently enrolled in Astronomy.
