14 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 1010Elementary Physics (PS)3
Conceptual survey course in introductory physics. For non-science majors. Principles of mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. Emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking.
Course includes structure, scale, and behavior of the universe and its underlying laws presented in a conceptual format. It shows examples of formation and workings of the sun and planets. Also teaches earth as a planet and as a reference for reckoning of the celestial sphere.
This course gives an overview of physics as a field of study. Students will be introduced to the SLCC physics program as well as the programs of the transfer partners within the state. Career options for students graduating with a four-year or higher degree in physics will be explored. Students will have the opportunity to meet with four-year peers at varied in-state institutions and learn the resources available to them post-transfer.
PHYS 1100Introductory Mathematics for Physics and Engineering3
This course is an application-oriented, hands-on introduction to physics and engineering mathematics. The course teaches the tools needed to solve problems commonly encountered in the first two years of physics and engineering courses. All topics are presented within the context of physics and engineering problems. This course is taught in conjunction with ENGR 1010.
