PH208 - Engineering Physics I w/Lab

5 Credit(s)

Prerequisite: MA 220 Analytic Geometry & Calculus I or concurrent enrollment.

Engineering Physics is the first of two introductory, calculus-based physics courses required for those of you majoring in physics, engineering, chemistry, and biochemistry. PH 208 is similar to PH 207 in most respects; the most important distinctions between them are the level of mathematics used and a few differences in content. Knowledge of calculus and trigonometry are essential. Key concepts include kinematics, Newton’s Laws, conservation of momentum and energy, rotational motion, and waves. Approximately 25% of instructional time is spent in hands-on laboratory investigations which provide you with opportunities to demonstrate the foundational physics principles and to appoly the science practices. The two-semester PH 208/PH 228 sequence is designed to meet the requirements of area physics and engineering programs. This is a transfer course which mets the college’s requirements for associate degree programs and meets transfer requirements of area colleges and universities.
