A calculus-based general physics course, required for students majoring in engineering or one of the physical sciences.
Course Outcomes: Upon course completion, a student will be able to:
- Apply scientific methods to investigate physical concepts associated with classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Identify and apply physical principles and laws associated with classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Integrate different concepts, laws and principles to explain practical applications in classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Develop strategies to solve physics problems involving classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Apply calculus techniques to solve problems involving classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Build and analyze graphical representations of specific physical quantities and laws associated with classical mechanics and thermodynamics.
- Use correct and complete quantitative analysis, use estimation and dimensional analysis, and draw correct and relevant conclusions related to classical mechanics and thermodynamics problems.
- Identify reliable sources of information and use their content to answer conceptual mechanics and thermodynamics questions.
