Physics Courses for Scientists and Engineers
-
PHY 211 Physics for Scientists and Engineers I
This course is the first in a three-semester sequence and is designed for students transferring to a four-year institution with majors in the sciences and engineering. Topics covered are kinematics, dynamics, energy, work, momentum, and conservation principles. Prerequisite: MATH 190 or 190H .
-
PHY 212 Physics for Scientists and Engineers II
This course is the second in a three-semester sequence and is designed for students transferring to a four-year institution with majors in the sciences and engineering. Topics covered include quantum physics, physical optics, and thermodynamics. Prerequisite: PHY 211 and MATH 191.
-
PHY 213 Physics for Scientists and Engineers III
This course is the third in a three-semester sequence and is designed for students transferring to a four-year institution with majors in the sciences and engineering. Topics covered are electric fields, electric potentials, current, circuits, magnetic fields, Gauss’s law, Ampere’s law, Maxwell’s equations, induction, and electromagnetic waves. Prerequisite: PHY 211 and MATH 191.
-
PHY 220 Unmanned Rocket Science
This course introduces students to the creation and implementation of payloads and unmanned flight vehicles. The payloads and unmanned vehicles such as rockets, balloons and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) collect inflight atmospheric data that are later analyzed and presented. Prerequisite: CIT 125 or 135.
