9 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 120Principles of Physics4
Principles of Physics introduces students to the general concepts of physics and its relationship to other sciences. Students will engage in scientific inquiry and perform lab investigations to develop a conceptual understanding of the laws of physics. Topics covered include motion, Newton’s Laws, forces, energy, momentum, particle charge, radioactivity, environmental radiation impacts, heat and heat transfer, waves, electricity, and magnetism.

COM 098 Academic Literacy II (or sufficient placement test score) OR [ EAP 050 Writing II and EAP 060 Reading II ]. Semesters Offered: All This course satisfies the core competency for Scientific Reasoning.
PHY 150Applied Physics4
This is an algebra-based course with some trigonometry designed for students in the engineering technology fields including nanoscience. The course provides the student with an integrated view of how the basic concepts of physics are applied to mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal systems. The course stresses accurate measurements, and the recording and manipulation of data. Emphasis is placed on how physics governs the workings of their area of technology as well as it applications to every-day life.

PHY 240Physics I4
Physics I is an algebra-based physics course that introduces students to concepts, principles, terminology, and methodologies as related to mechanical, fluid and thermal systems. Practical examples will be used to illustrate the relationship between physics and other disciplines, and to develop problem-solving skills. Topics covered include vector analysis, kinematics, force and linear motion, two-dimensional motion, gravitation, energy, momentum and collisions, fluids and pressure, heat and calorimetry. Laboratory experiments will emphasize accurate measurements and data manipulation using the basic theories of physics. This is the first, of a 2-semester physics course sequence.

PHY 245Physics II4
Physics II is an algebra-based course that emphasizes the concepts, principles, terminology, and methodologies as they apply to electricity, magnetism, and optics. Topics include capacitance, and inductance, alternating current circuits, geometrical optics, lenses, and mirrors. Laboratory experiments will emphasize accurate measurements and data manipulation using the concepts covered during lecture. This is the second of a 2-semester physics course sequence.
This course provides an overview of calculus based physics for engineering and science majors. Topics include vector mathematics, kinematics, dynamics, thermodynamics, energy, momentum, gravity and harmonic motion. Students will use calculus to solve problems in physics.
MAT 220 and PHY 120 with a grade of “C” or better, or high school physics with a grade of “C” or better Semesters Offered: Fall
PHY 255College Physics II4
This course is a calculus based physics course with emphasis on the physical principles of electricity, magnetism, and optics. Among the topics are: electrostatics, direct current circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, capacitance and inductance, alternating current circuits, geometrical optics, lenses and mirrors, and wave optics. Students will be expected to perform experiments and interpret results using the basic theories of physics.
Varies Credit Hours This course allows faculty to provide students with additional, timely learning experiences in their area of study. Each course of one to four credits is scheduled when needed with a unique topic, a specific syllabus, appropriate enrollment requirements and prerequisite courses. Up to 12 credits of special studies courses may be applied to a student’s program, insofar as they fit into the program requirements. (A special studies course may be repeated if a different specific topic is offered.) Special studies courses that are later approved as on-going courses in substantially the same form will not be counted toward the 12- credit limit.
