9 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 2010Non-Calculus Physics I4
(s) First semester of an introductory pre-calculus survey course sequence in general physics including the following: equilibrium conditions for mechanics and thermal physics processes, kinematics and Newton’s laws, and conservation laws (mechanical work and energy, and momentum).
(s) A continuation of PHYS 2010, with topics extending into wave mechanics (sound, vibration and optics), electromagnetism (field theory and circuits), and modern physics.
(s) First semester of a calculus-based introductory physics course for those in engineering, mathematics, chemistry or physics programs. This course makes extensive use of the tools of algebra, trigonometry and calculus. Topics include the scientific process (mathematical models, inductive/deductive reasoning), basic mechanics (kinematics and Newton’s Laws), thermodynamics (calorimetry, black-body radiation, and the first law of thermodynamics), and conservation laws (momentum and mechanical energy).
(s) Hands-on, active learning engagement utilizing a team-based approach. Data analysis, error analysis, and other research skills are emphasized. Scores and grades for lab activities are incorporated into the overall assessment for PHYS 2110.
(s) A continuation of PHYS 2110. Topics include wave mechanics (oscillations and waves), optics (wave nature of light), and electromagnetism (field theory and circuits). If time allows, select topics in modern physics will be introduced.
(s) Hands-on, active learning engagement utilizing a team-based approach. Data analysis, error analysis, and other research skills are emphasized. Scores and grades for lab exercises are incorporated into the overall assessment for PHYS 2120.
(s) Selected topics in physics are studied in greater depth. Topics chosen cover the entire range of Physics and are selected in consultation with the instructor. As needed. (T)
