Five-Year Review Semester: 2026年秋季
学期结束: 2027年秋季
Catalog Description: PHYS 2210 is the first semester of a two-semester sequence in calculus-based 物理 for scientists and engineers. It is a necessary preparation for continuing studies in upper division STEM courses. It includes an introduction to Newton's laws of motion, momentum and energy conservation, 旋转, 振荡, 波, and gravitation. The methods of calculus are applied to develop theories and to solve problems.

的理由: This course is a necessary component of the curriculum for geology, 化学, computer science, 物理, 数学, and engineering majors. It is fully transferable to higher education institutions across the state of Utah (same course number).
Student Learning Outcomes:
Students will know the important scientific laws and principles in classical mechanics. This will be assessed through quizzes and tests.
Students will be able to use sound problem-solving strategies to solve paper-and-pencil 物理 problems and apply them to real life. This will be assessed through homework assignments.

Pedagogy Statement:
The course will be taught in an interactive lecture format with lots of active-learning activities. Inclusive and high-impact strategies will be used, such as group work on in-class quizzes and student presentations to the class. Students will be encouraged to actively participate in in groups in both in-class and out-of-class activities. Students will be expected to come to class prepared by pre-reading the textbook. Students are encouraged to learn both confidence and humility.
