PHS 105 - How Things Work: Physics of Everyday Life
IAI Number GECC: P1900
3 Credit Hour(s)
3 Lecture Hour(s)
0 Lab Hours(s)
This course introduces the principles of physics and science for non-science major or science major students. Students will examine selected familiar real-life examples in a case-study format and explore their connection to underlying physical principles, which are revisited when they appear in another example, thus building the universality of the concepts. The course will consider examples covering topics from mechanics, fluids, heat, electricity and magnetism, optics, waves, and modern physics. The course will be helpful for students to develop logical thinking to solve problems. This course is also helpful for students wishing to gain a conceptual understanding before taking a more advanced physics course.
