PHYS 1115 Basic Physics Syllabus
3 Credits 3 Class Hours
An introductory course for students having little or no background in physics. Students are introduced to a variety of topics including motion, energy, fluids, electric circuits, optics, and waves. Intended to prepare engineering technology students to be successful in PHYS 2010 and 2020 and to provide a physical science elective without a lab for all students. Course does not transfer. Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra

PHYS 2010 Non-Calculus Physics I* Syllabus
4 Credits 3 Class Hours, 3 Lab Hours
An algebra/trigonometry-based course in the concepts and principles of mechanics, fluids, heat, and thermodynamics. Prerequisite: MATH 1730 or MATH 1710-1720
* This course is part of the general education core.

PHYS 2020 Non-Calculus Physics II* Syllabus
4 Credits 3 Class Hours, 3 Lab Hours
An algebra/trigonometry-based course in the concepts and principles of wave motion, sound, electricity and magnetism, light and optics, and elements of modern physics. Prerequisite: PHYS 2010
* This course is part of the general education core.

PHYS 2110 Calculus Based Physics I* Syllabus
4 Credits 3 Class Hours, 3 Lab Hours
