PHYS 1100Introduction to Physics4.00
(3.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course is an introduction to the basic principles of physics and how these principles explain everyday phenomena. The course is intended for liberal arts students and students interested in taking a basic science course before enrolling in advanced science courses. The lecture/theory portion of this course is offered both on campus in the classroom and as a Web course. This course includes two hours of required lab per week, which must be taken on campus. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. of MATH 0070 or MATH 0077.
5.00 credits (4.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course is the first of a two-semester course sequence and is an algebra- and trigonometry-based course designed to familiarize you with the physical phenomena underlying both the natural universe and human technology. Subjects include mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, wave phenomena, sound, physical and geometrical optics, electricity, magnetism, and postclassical physics. Many science-related programs, such as pharmacy, architecture and physical therapy, require a physics course of this type. This course also satisfies the physics requirement for some premed curricula. This course includes two hours of laboratory instruction per week. This course is also appropriate for liberal arts students seeking General Education credits. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. school trigonometry OR MATH 1110 and MATH 1120 or MATH 1125. 456

This course includes two hours of laboratory instruction per week. This course is also appropriate for liberal arts students seeking General Education credits. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3.
Engineering 1 6.00 credits (5.00 lec/1.00 lab) Topics include mechanics and thermodynamics. This course satisfies the physics requirement for engineering, premed, and chemistry majors. You must register for a lab section, which is an integral part of this course. This course is also appropriate for liberal arts students seeking General Education credits. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. grade of “A” or PHYS 1131. Prerequisite/Co-requisite: MATH 1180.
Engineering 2 6.00 credits (5.00 lec/1.00 lab) Topics include waves and electricity and magnetism, as well as optics if time permits. This course satisfies the physics requirement for engineering, premed and chemistry majors. You must register for a lab section, which is an integral part of this course. This course is also appropriate for liberal arts students seeking General Education credits. Fulfills MnTC Goal Area 3. Prerequisite/Co-requisite: MATH 1190.
