PHYS 0110 - INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS 1

3 credits

A noncalculus course in introductory physics. Together with PHYS 0111, these courses deal with mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, heat, and atomic and nuclear physics. Proficiency in algebra and/or trigonometry required. (Meets CAS Natural Science Requirement.)  (Meets UPT AD Physical Science Requirement, either independent or sequence, when taken with PHYS 0111.) (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.)

 

PHYS 0111 - INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS 2

3 credits

A continuation of PHYS 0110. Prerequisite: PHYS 0110. (Meets CAS Natural Science Requirement.)  (Meets UPT AD Physical Science Sequence Requirement with PHYS 0110.) (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.)

 

PHYS 0174 - BASIC PHYSICS FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 1 (INTGD)

4 credits

This course, the first part of a two-term sequence, is the integrated curriculum version of PHYS 0104.  It introduces students to the basic principles of mechanics, and it provides a better integration of physics with the first term of calculus, engineering, and chemistry.  The theory of waves and the kinetic theory of gases are discussed.  Corequisite:  MATH 0220. (Meets CAS Natural Science Requirement.)  (Meets UPT AD Physical Science Requirement, either independent or sequence, with PHYS 0175.)  (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.)  Frequency of Offering:  fall term.

PHYS 0175 - BASIC PHYSICS FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 2 (INTGD)

4 credits

This course, the second part of a two-term sequence, is the integrated curriculum version of PHYS 0105 & 0106.  It introduces students to the basic principles, and it provides a better integration of physics with the second terms of calculus, engineering, and chemistry.  Modern physics (special relativity, elementary quantum mechanics, and atomic structure) are discussed.  Prerequisite:  PHYS 0174.  Corequisite:  MATH 0230. (Meets CAS Natural Science Requirement.)  (Meets UPT AD Physical Science Requirement, either independent or sequence, with PHYS 0174.)  (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.)  Frequency of Offering:  spring term.

 

PHYS 0212 - INTRODUCTION TO LABORATORY PHYSICS 

2 credit

A laboratory course designed to accompany or follow PHYS 0111. Introductory experiments are done in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, waves, and modern physics. Corequisite PHYS 0111.  (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.)  Frequency of Offering:  fall and spring term.

 

PHYS 0219 - BASIC LABORATORY PHYSICS FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 

2 credit

This is an introductory physics laboratory associated with the Physics 0104-0105-0106 or Physics 0174-0175 sequence. Introductory experiments are done in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, waves, and modern physics. Prerequisites or corequisites: PHYS 0104, 0105, and 0106 or PHYS 0174 and 0175.  (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.)  Frequency of Offering:  fall and spring term.
