Students gain an understanding and working knowledge of these principles through practical application experiences. The course is specifically designed for students, both science and non-science majors, who plan to pursue careers as technicians. Upon successful completion of this course, students will possess an understanding of mechanics, vector mechanics for static bodies and dynamic mechanics for bodies in motion, and energy transfer methods. Offered only in the fall semesters. Includes a laboratory component.
Students learn wave phenomena, electricity, and the fundamental structure of matter.
Offered only in the spring semesters. A calculus-based introductory physics course with laboratory. Intended primarily for engineering, physical science, and mathematics majors. Students acquire a working knowledge of vector mechanics, dynamics of linear and circular motion, energy and momentum techniques, and mechanical waves. Students receiving credit for PHYS 1310 cannot receive duplicate credit for PHYS 1110.
