Course Description:
This is an introductory physics course that focuses on basic physics concepts and connections to
everyday life. Course topics include physics of electromagnetism, electric field, electric
potential, magnetic field, and laws of reflection and refraction of light. Proportional reasoning,
estimating, and graphing skills are emphasized throughout the course. Overall goals of this
course include students' gaining an appreciation for the physical world and improved critical
thinking and reasoning skills.

Course Objectives:
The goal of this course is to provide the students with a broad understanding of the physical
principles of the universe, to help them develop critical thinking and quantitative reasoning
skills, and to empower them to think creatively and critically about scientific problems and
experiments. Students completing this course will be able to explain the fundamental laws of
physics relevant to the engineering sciences, apply knowledge of basic physical laws to solve
various problems of applied nature and analyze different physical problems using the laws of
physics from different areas like mechanics and thermodynamics.
