PHYSICS I -LABORATORY |
3 credits, 3-hrs. lecture/1-hrs. recitation
1 credit, 3 hours |
Prerequisite: MAT 020
Corequisite: MAT 030
The student will apply the laws of motion to the solution of
problems in mechanics. The student will recognize or state the
definition of force, momentum, work and energy, and the corresponding
concepts of the kinetic theory of matter, and solve
simple and practical problems related to heat. Offered in

PHYSICS II
PHYSICS II - LABORATORY |
3 credits, 3-hrs. lecture/1-hrs. recitation
1 credit, 3 hours |
Prerequisite: PHY 4302/4402
The student will explain the principles of electrostatics, simple
direct current circuitry, and the practical generation and
properties of alternating current. The student will solve
problems involving electro-magnetic waves and optics and state
or recognize terms related to the atomic quantum theory. The
student will also correlate the failure of the classical theory with
the emergency of quantum concepts, explain or recognize
terms related to the atomic and nuclear theory of matter, and
perform simple radioactivity experiments. The student will give
a descriptive account of contemporary physics. Offered in
English only. |

INDEPENDENT STUDY IN PHYSICS |
3 credits, 3 hours |
Prerequisite: CHE 220 and PHY 220 with a minimum grade of B
Pre/Co-requisite: MAT 310
This course is designed to help students study particular topics
of interest in the Physical sciences while developing advanced
research skills fundamental in planning and carrying out an
independent scientific research project. Students will conduct
laboratory, field research or library research using sophisticated
methodology, equipment and techniques to obtain and analyze
data. The research findings will be presented using oral and
written papers. |
Courses identified with an asterisk (*) will be offered when there is sufficient demand.
