Introduces students to aspects of physics with an emphasis on applications in technology and the physical sciences. This course can be used as the second part of an introduction to physics for students in the physical sciences or as a science elective for engineering students. Topics include fluid mechanics, oscillations and waves, temperature and ideal gas law, optics, special relativity, quantum physics, and nuclear physics. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours and 1.5 Practicum/Lab hours and 1 Tutorial hoursPrerequisite(s): MATH 110.3, MATH 123.3, MATH 133.4, or MATH 176.3; and PHYS 115.3, PHYS 156.3, or GE 124.3. Note: Students with credit for PHYS 111 or 121 may not take this course for credit. Students may only obtain credit for one of PHYS 117 or PHYS 125.
