6 courses with the subject PHYS, 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.
PHYS 100Descriptive Physics4
(3 lecture, 2 lab) Course Description This course prepares students who have had no experience with physics for entry into college physics and technology courses. This course will cover a number of fundamental physical principles and their applications. This course is not intended to be taken by students who have successfully completed Physics I. This course meets the General Education competency of Scientific Reasoning (SR). Prerequisite MATH 090 or MATH 091 Text Hewitt, P. G. (2015). Conceptual physics. (12th ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson. Objectives
(3 lecture, 2 lab) Course Description This course is designed as an introduction to Physics for students in technology and Liberal Arts programs. Topics include vectors, kinematics, dynamics (translational and rotational), energy and power, momentum properties of materials, and the gas laws and temperature. Microcomputer Based Laboratory (MBL) activities are exclusively utilized. This course meets the General Education competency of Scientific Reasoning (SR). Prerequisite MATH 117 and PHYS 100 Corequisite OR
(3 lecture, 2 lab) Course Description This course is a continuation of Physics I. Topics include heat transfer, thermodynamics, harmonic motion, waves, sound, electrostatics, DC circuits, magnetism, alternating current, and optics. Microcomputer Based Laboratory (MBL) activities are utilized in some of the lab exercises. Note Spring semester only. Prerequisite PHYS 101 or permission of instructor. Text Serway, R.
