Course Description
This is a survey course in elementary physics. Stress will be placed on basic concepts, principles, and history of the development of physics. Presentations will include selected topics in mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. (This course cannot be used for credit in physics toward degrees in Computer Science, Engineering Physics, Civil, Aerospace or Electrical Engineering, Aircraft Engineering Technology, Aeronautical Science, or Avionics Technology.) Prerequisite(s): MATH 106, 111 or 140.
Course Goals
This course is designed to provide a 3-credit hour physical science course for students in academic areas of concentration other than flight or engineering. The basic goal of the course is to introduce and demonstrate the basic physics laws emphasizing the unified character of physical interactions throughout the Universe. Its purpose is to help future administrators and executives to make technically oriented decisions.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Assess the role of science, and in particular, physics, in helping us to better understand the complex, technological society of which we are a
