Engineering Physics I: Mechanics

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course is the AP-credit equivalent of PHYS 10310 . The first course in a two-semester sequence in general physics. Topics include the kinematics and mechanics of a particle; work, energy and momentum, and associated conservation laws; rotation, torque and angular momentum; oscillations and wave motions. A course designed for students of science and engineering. Laboratory meetings in alternating weeks only. Weekly tutorial sessions. Students intending to seek a major where AP science credit is not accepted, or where two semesters of general physics with laboratories at the college level are required, almost universally waive their AP credit at Notre Dame and take the classes for academic degree credit. In these cases, PHYS 10093 /10094 will revert to non-degree credit on their final transcript, when replaced by 8.0 letter-graded degree credits of PHYS 10310 /11310 + 10320/11320 as determined by the requirements of their respective majors.
