The approach, like that of PHYS 1422, will be largely conceptual leading to an understanding of physics rather than just the ability to solve mathematical problems that are examples of physics. Students in this course will gain familiarity with single particle kinematics and dynamics, multi-particle systems, rotational motion, oscillations, waves and sound. This course is in the format of a three-credit lecture session and a mandatory, separately scheduled one-credit laboratory that accompanies it. Prerequisites: Pre-Calculus PRPM 0022

PHYS 1422: Physics for Engineers II (3,1) This course will build upon the base offered in PHYS 1421, and provide the additional physics required by engineering students prior to specialized courses in engineering physics applications.

Prerequisite: PHYS 1421: Physics for Engineers I, MATH 1422: Calculus I.

CHEM 1411: Introductory Chemistry (3,1) This course will provide students with a foundation in basic chemical principles. Students will gain familiarity with chemical equations and reactions, and they will be given the tools necessary to solve chemical problems that they might encounter on a daily basis. An important component will be an understanding of the impact of chemistry on all aspects of humans and human civilization. Students will learn to integrate chemical understanding in the broader world around them, and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills involving quantitative data from the natural sciences.
