Physics 213:    Physics 213 is taken in the second year (forth semester) by most Science and Engineering majors. It is a continuation of Physics 211 (Mechanics) and Physics 212 (Electricity and Magnetism) and covers basic concepts in fluids and thermodynamics. There is one lecture (50 minutes) and one collaborative activity class (110 minutes) every week.

Physics 212:   Physics 212 is taken in the second year (third semester) by most Science and Engineering majors. Prerequisites for this course are Phys 211 and Math 141. It is a calculus based physics course which covers most topics in Electricity and Magnetism. The course is taught in three lectures, and one lab per week format with extensive active and collaborative student participation. This course is a modification of  Physics 202.

Physics 001:     This physics course is taught at a conceptual level covering basic concepts of physical science. The level of math required is basic arithmetic and algebra. This course is primarily meant for Liberal Arts, Humanities and Social Science students (students in non-technical fields) who have to take a natural science course as general education requirement. There are three lectures every week.

Physics 151/251:  These two courses are taught together because of the similarity in their course content. They cover basic concepts in optics and electricity and magnetism. The math background required is basic algebra and trigonometry. There are three lectures and one lab every week.

Physics 211: Physics 211 is taken in the first year by most Science and Engineering majors. It is a calculus based physics course which covers most topics in Mechanics: motion, force, Newton's laws, energy, collisions and rotation. Math 140 is an essential prerequisite for this course. It is taught in two lectures, one recitation and one lab per week format with extensive active and collaborative student participation. This course is a modification of Physics 201. The computer based active and collaborative laboratory component has replaced one of the three lectures in Physics 201.  

Physics 214:    Physics 214 is taken  concurrently with Physics 213 by most Science and Engineering majors. It covers Wave Motion (Sound and Light) and Quantum Mechanics. It also is taught in one lecture and one collaborative lab format. Prerequisites for this course are Phys 211 and Math 141.
