PHY 1603 INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS: SELECTED TOPICS (3-3-0). This course is intended primarily for liberal arts students and other non-science majors, but may be taken by science majors with a special interest in the topics. Topics include: modern physics, history of physics, nuclear power, and theories of matter. May be repeated for credit when topics vary. Prerequisites: One year each of high school algebra and high school science.
PHY 1614 GENERAL COLLEGE PHYSICS I (4-3-3). Study of principles and applications of concepts in mechanics, energy, heat, wave motion, and sound. Designed for pre-med, pre-dental, pre-nursing, pre-pharmacy, veterinary, optometry, biology, architecture, education, electronics, and other students who desire a one- or two-semester lab science course, but do not intend to take additional courses in physics. Also intended for pre-engineering students who never had high school physics. Fee: $12 Prerequisites: DVM 1193 or equivalent.PHY 0141 (taken concurrently with PHY 1614) is highly recommended. (PHYS 1401)
PHY 1624 GENERAL COLLEGE PHYSICS II (4-3-3). Study of principles and applications of concepts in geometric and physical optics, electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. Fee: $12 Prerequisites: Same as for PHY 1614 and, in addition, credit for PHY 1614. (PHYS 1402)
PHY 1634 APPLIED PHYSICS (4-3-3). Course designed for students in vocational-technical curriculum, but other students are welcome. Application of concepts in physics and chemistry to students' vocational-technical areas of interest. Fee: $12 Prerequisites: DVM 1173 or equivalent.
PHY 1653 ELEMENTARY PHYSICS METHODS (3-3-0). Designed for engineering majors with strong mathematics background, this course may be substituted for one year of high school physics as a Prerequisites: or PHY 2614 or PHY 2624. Selected major topics from mechanics, thermodynamics, vibrations and waves, electricity and magnetism, and optics. Prerequisite: Credit or concurrent enrollment in MTH 1753.
PHY 2614 ENGINEERING PHYSICS I (4-3-3). Study of motion, forces, work, energy conservation, power, heat and thermodynamics, and vibrations and waves. Designed for majors in engineering, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Fee: $12 Prerequisites: 1) Credit in MTH 1854 or equivalent 2) concurrent enrollment or credit in MTH 1864 or its equivalent 3) one year of high school physics or PHY 1614 and 1624 or PHY 1653. (PHYS 2425)
PHY 2624 ENGINEERING PHYSICS II (4-3-3). Study of electricity and magnetism, geometric and physical optics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Designed for majors in engineering, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Fee: $12 Prerequisites: 1) PHY 2614 or equivalent AND 2) credit in MTH 1864. (PHYS 2426)
