13 courses with the subject PHY, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
PHY 090Physical Science Concepts
Light, heat, electricity, magnetism, space travel, mechanics, earth science, the atmosphere and the atom are discussed during the unfolding of this course. It is designed to familiarize the student with the physical world about him and to point out how t
This is an introductory course in the concepts and applications of physics designed for the non-science major. Topics covered include units of measurements, conversions, motion, force, gravity, rotation, energy, work, pressure, fluids, temperature and hea
In this introductory course, liberal arts and preprofessional students study mechanics, motion of particles, force and motion, work and energy and status of fluids, as well as temperature, heat and work, kinetic theory of matter, wave motion and sound.
A continuation of PHY 101 , this course includes electrostatics, magnetism, electromagnetic waves and electronics, light and its measurement and lenses and mirrors, as well as atomics and nucleonics, X-rays, optical spectra and atomic structure. Students s
Students preparing to major in science, engineering, and math investigate simple equations of linear and rotational motion, vectors, forces, equilibrium, momentum, and energy concepts. Other topics include wave motion, sound, hydrostatics, and hydrodynami
This course provides a conceptually-based exposure to the fundamental principles and processes of the physical world. Topics include basic concepts of motion, forces, energy, heat, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of matter and the universe. Upon completion, students should be able to describe examples and applications of the principles studied. This course has been approved for transfer under the CAA and ICAA as a pre-major and/or elective course requirement for the AA and AS degrees. This is a Universal General Education Transfer Component (UGETC) course in Natural Sciences for the AA and AS degrees.
Students preparing to major in science, engineering, or math engage in study of thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and simple circuit analysis. This is the second course in the physics sequence. Lecture four hours, laboratory three hours per week.
Students preparing to major in science, engineering, and math engage in the study of properties of sound waves and light waves, relativity, atomic theory, and nuclear theory. This is the third course in the physics sequence. Lecture four hours, laboratory
Grade of “C”; Corequisites: None This course uses calculus-based mathematical models to introduce the fundamental concepts that describe the physical world. Topics include electrostatic forces, electric fields, electric potentials, direct-current circuits, magneto static forces, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, alternating-current circuits, and light. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the principles involved and display analytical problem-solving ability for the topics covered. This course has been approved for transfer under the CAA and ICAA as a pre-major and/or elective course requirement for the AA and AS degrees. This is a Universal General Education Transfer Component (UGETC) course in Natural Sciences for the AE and AS degrees.
