PHY 121 - Physics for Engineers and Physical Scientists I

An introductory calculus-based physics course, primarily serving students majoring in engineering or the physical sciences. Focuses on mechanics. NOTE: While Calc I (MAT 126 or equivalent) is not a pre- or corequisite for PHY 121 (Physics for Eng. & Physical Scientists I), it is a prerequisite for PHY 122 (Physics for Eng. & Physical Scientists II). Since PHY 121 is calculus based, it is expected that students are either concurrently enrolled in or have prior credit for MAT 126. NOTE: Because of overlapping subject matter, no more than four (4) degree credits are allowed for any combination of PHY 107, PHY 111 and PHY 121.

Core Curriculum/Core Requirements: Lab in the Basic or Applied Sciences

Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in MAT 122, or no grade record in MAT 122 and a passing score (for MAT 126) on the Math Placement Exam.

Course Typically Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer

Credits: 4
