PHY 118 - Topics: Introduction to Physics (1)

This class is intended to be an introduction to physics for students who want to pursue an engineering or physics major, but who had limited or no experience with physics in high school. In this class, we will study fundamental concepts in physics that are necessary for an engineering major. The class will use guided inquiry, hands-on activities, quantitative analysis, and mathematical analysis. In addition to learning physics concepts, students will develop and practice skills in teamwork, written and verbal communication, and algebra and trigonometry. Students should have completed two years of high school algebra, including trigonometry.
