4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: MT 125 and MT 130 or a score of 26 or higher on the math component of the ACT.
This course covers basic topics associated with classical mechanics, including kinematics and dynamics, the laws of conservation of momentum and energy, and thermodynamics.
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisites: PH 210.
Continuation of College Physics I. Electricity and magnetism, basic electronics, properties of light, lenses and mirrors, optical phenomena, introduction to modern physics are emphasized.
4 Semester Hours
Co-requisite: MT 229.
Designed to meet the needs of students planning on a career in science, math, or engineering. This course covers topics associated with classical mechanics and thermodynamics. The focus will be on kinematics and dynamics; the laws of conservation of energy and momentum; and the laws of thermodynamics. The course requires the use of calculus concepts including limits, derivatives, and integrals.
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: PH 220.
Co-requisite: MT 230.
Designed to meet the needs of students planning careers in science, math, or engineering, this course is a continuation of Physics for Scientists and Engineers I. Topics covered will include: wave mechanics; electricity and magnetism; DC and AC circuits; properties of light; lenses and mirrors; optical phenomena; and an introduction to modern physics. The course emphasizes the application of calculus concepts, including limits, derivatives, and integration techniques, as problem solving tools.
1-3 Semester Hours Prerequisite: Permission of Department Chair. Presents courses in Physics which the College expects to offer only once or occasionally in response to specific community needs. The course may consist of seminars, specialized or individual instruction, and/or research in an area related to Physics.
