PHY-106--(3)
FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICS
Prerequisite: 1 year of high school algebra. An examination of physical principles and phenomena with applications in mechanics, properties of matter, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, light, and quantum physics. The course does not assume that students have had high school physics and is intended for nonscience liberal arts and technical students. It will include large group mini-labs and demonstrations. PHY-106 taken concurrently with PHY-107, Fundamentals of Physics Lab, is also designed as an entry-level course for PHY-150, standard college physics. PHY-107 taken concurrently with PHY-106 will satisfy the physical science general education requirement. (4 contact hours)

PHY-107--(1)
FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICS LAB
Corequisite: Registration or credit in PHY-106 or consent of instructor. A laboratory examination of physical principles and phenomena in mechanics, properties of matter, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, light, and quantum physics. The course does not assume that students have had high school physics, and is intended for nonscience liberal arts and technical students. PHY-107 taken concurrently with PHY-106, Fundamentals of Physics, is also designed as an entry-level course for PHY-150, standard college physics. PHY-106 taken concurrently with PHY-107 will satisfy the physical science general education requirement. Fee is required. (2 contact hours)

PHY-110--(3)
MECHANICAL UNIVERSE I
This introductory course in physics covers mechanics, heat, waves, and forces using approximately 30 half-hour videotapes. Satisfies the science requirement for the nonscience major. PHY-111, Mechanical Universe I Lab, taken concurrently with PHY-110 will satisfy the physical science general education requirement. (3 contact hours)

PHY-111--(1)
MECHANICAL UNIVERSE I LAB
Prerequisite: MTH-095 or consent of instructor; registration in PHY-110 or consent of instructor. This transfer physics lab course is intended to be correlated with PHY-110 but may be taken separately. Covers scientific experiments and observations that enhance an understanding of mechanics, heat, waves, and forces. Home experiments and field trips may be substituted for regularly scheduled sessions in the physics lab. PHY-110, Mechanical Universe I, taken concurrently with PHY-111 will satisfy the physical science general education requirement. (2 contact hours)

PHY-112--(3)
MECHANICAL UNIVERSE II
Prerequisite: MTH-095 or equivalent, and PHY-110 or consent of instructor. This introductory physics course covers light, electricity, magnetism, quantum theory, atomic structure, relativity, and nuclear energy. (3 contact hours)

PHY-113--(1)
MECHANICAL UNIVERSE II LAB
Prerequisite: MTH-095 or equivalent and PHY-111 or consent of instructor. Corequisite: Registration in PHY-112 or consent of instructor. An introductory laboratory in physics which covers scientific experiments and observations to enhance understanding of electricity, magnetism, waves, light, quantum theory, and nuclear energy developed in PHY-112. (2 contact hours)

PHY-150--(4)
