PC 120 - Physics I - Mechanics


Credits: (4 credits)

This course is devoted to the study of the atomic structure of matter and its interactions. The primary focus is on classical mechanics and thermal physics, topics that are a fundamental part of the conceptual framework for all of physics and chemistry.

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisite: MA 201.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to do the following: 

     1.   Identify linkages between physics and other disciplines such as chemistry, biology, exercise science, and environmental science.

     2.   Explain how physics influences current and emerging technologies.

     3.   Discuss classical and modern physics concepts at a conceptual level.

     4.   Solve problems using mathematics and physical reasoning.

     5.   Develop physics content in a project related to your field of study or interests.

     6.   Test hypotheses related to custom physics content.
