EGG 131 - Technical Physics I

Credits: 3

Description
This course is designed for students in technical areas to study physics. Numerical calculations are intensive. This is the first semester of a one-year course. It covers equilibrium, motion, dynamics, wave and fluid mechanics.

Student Learning Outcomes

Demonstrate a working knowledge of measurement and systems of units.
Analyze physical systems studied in the course using working knowledge of basic math, angular measure, trigonometry, and vectors.
Show a working knowledge of particle and rigid body statics, force diagrams, center of gravity, and equilibrium.
Demonstrate a working knowledge of laws of motion; motion in one and two dimensions.
Incorporate a working knowledge of physics of simple machines to analyze physical systems studied in the course.
Depict a working knowledge of vibration, wave, sound, and fluid mechanics, pressure, buoyancy, ahd viscosity.
Demonstrate a working knowledge of vibration, wave, sound, and fluid mechanics, pressure, buoyancy, and viscosity.

Prerequisite: ET 111B or MATH 116 or above (except MATH 122, MATH 123)
