PHYS 250 — Physics for Engineers II with Lab
The second in a two semester series, this course represents a calculus based approach to introductory physics, primarily serving students with a strong mathematics and high s chool physics background intending to major in engineering. Topics include Waves and Superposition, Physical and Geometric Optics, Electric Charges and Forces, Electric Field and Potential, DC Circuit Analysis, Magnetic Fields and Induction, Electromagneti c Fields and Waves. Emphasis will be placed on understanding natural phenomena conceptually and numerical problem solving through recitations and workshops, in addition to lectures. Weekly laboratory experiments assist the student to develop a feel for rea listic measurements and meaningful calculations in applied problem solving. Prerequisite(s): PHYS-200, MATH-260 Corequisite(s): none Political Science Courses (POLS)
