Four hours of lecture and two hours of lab weekly (was PHYS 203). Prerequisite: PHYS& 122 (was PHYS 102) with a grade of 2.0 or higher and placement in ENGL& 101 (was ENGL 105).

Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Demonstrate a thorough understanding at a non-majors-level of the basic principles of electromagnetism, electronics, and modern physics. [REASON]
Develop a clear understanding of the scientific method and its application to these principles. [REASON]
Apply quantitative measures to situations involving these principles and develop a strong facility for working problems based on these principles. [REASON]
Analyze physical systems to decide what information and principles are relevant to understanding the behavior of the systems. [REASON]
Clearly communicate fundamental knowledge particular to physics with their peers using appropriate vocabulary. [COMMUNICATE]
