Institution:

Oklahoma City Community College

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M) 4 CREDITS This course will fulfill the General Education requirement for Physical Science (without laboratory). The student will be introduced to modern astronomy. Concepts to be studied include the solar system, the sun and stars, galaxies, including the Milky Way Galaxy, and current theories of the origin, evolution, and fate of the universe. GenEd Requirement ? PHYS 1514 GENERAL ASTRONOMY WITH LAB Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M) 4 CREDITS This course will fulfill the general education requirement for Physical Science (with laboratory). The student will be introduced to modern astronomy. Concepts to be studied include the solar system, the sun and stars, galaxies (including the Milky Way Galaxy), and current theories of the origin, evolution, and fate of the universe. Laboratory exercises will explore basic physical principles related to Astronomy as well as activities with specific astronomical applications. GenEd Requirement ? PHYS 2014 ENGINEERING PHYSICS I Prerequisite: (R) (W), MATH 2104 (or at least 4 hours of calculus) within the last year or Evaluation by Instructor Prerequisite or Corequisite: MATH 2214 4 CREDITS This is a physics course designed primarily for pre-engineering, chemistry and physics majors. Students will demonstrate their understanding of concepts in mechanics, heat and sound by (1) developing qualitative and quantitative descriptions of physical phenomena, and (2) predicting the results of physical occurrences based on physics theory and laboratory experiments. Quantitative descriptions and predictions will incorporate methods of calculus where appropriate. GenEd Requirement ? PHYS 2114 ENGINEERING PHYSICS II Prerequisite: (R) (W), PHYS 2014 and MATH 2214 (or at least 8 hours of calculus) within the last year or Evaluation by Instructor Prerequisite or Corequisite: MATH 2314 4 CREDITS This course is a continuation of Engineering Physics I. Students will demonstrate their understanding of concepts in electricity, magnetism, and light by (1) developing qualitative and quantitative descriptions of physical phenomena, and (2) predicting the results of physical occurrences based on physics theory and laboratory experiments. Quantitative descriptions and predictions will incorporate methods of calculus where appropriate. GenEd Requirement
