Engineering Physics I. Mechanics, heat and sound for engineering students. Prerequisite: Math 2265 or concurrent enrollment. 3 hours theory, 3 hours laboratory. credit 4 hours. (OD)

II. Required Textbooks:

Hugh D. Young, Roger A. Freeman; University Physics; Twelfth Edition; Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, INC.; 2008

Dean S. Edmonds; Cioffari's Experiments in College Physics; Tenth Edition, D.C. Heath and Company; 1993

III. Course Objectives:

A. To give the student an understanding of the basic physical concepts in the areas of Mechanics, heat, and sound and the involvement of these concepts in the physical world.

B. To help the student to gain expertise in the application of physical concepts to the solution of problems encountered in the science and engineering areas.

C. To verify physical laws and relationships by laboratory experiments.

D. To use the techniques of calculus for the development and application of physical concepts.

E. To prepare the student to seek a degree in engineering or science related fields.

IV. Teaching Format:

This course will be taught primarily by lecture and demonstration. The textbook will be the basis for material to be presented and the student will be responsible for reading all material and working all problems assigned by the instructor. Computer assisted instruction disks, which are located in the learning resouce center, will be available as supplementary material.  The laboratory experiments are assigned by the instructor with the student responsible for completion of assigned experiments.

V. Evaluation Techniques:

At least four 50 minute objective examinations will be given during the semester. Problems are assigned from each chapter taught and a grade is given in each lab experiment. The test average will comprise 80% of the semester grade with the remaining 20% of the grade determined by laboratory experiments and assigned problems. 

VI. Grading:

The following scale will be used to determine a letter grade:

90% - 100% > A

80% - 89% > B

70% - 79% > C

60% - 69% > D

Below 60% > F

VII. Attendance Policy:

The importance of attendance is stressed to the student. Students who begin to establish irregular attendance habits are reminded of their need to attend regularly.

VIII. Make-Up Examinations:

The student is expected to take all examinations at the specified time and date. If a student has circumstances arise which make it impractical to take a test at its regularly assigned time it is his or her responsibility to contact the instructor prior to the examination if possible. The student will be given a make-up examination if, in the instructors opinion, the student had a legitimate reason to miss the regularly scheduled test. Make- up tests are strongly discouraged.
