PHYS& 223 Engineering Physics III with Lab5 credits This course covers the basic principles of oscillatory motion and Hook’s law, the wave equation, mechanical waves (acoustics), Maxwell’s equations, geometric optics, physical optics, diffraction, interference, and polarization. Laboratory work is included.
Prerequisites: MATH& 152 and PHYS& 222
Quarters Offered: Spring
Student Outcomes/Competencies: Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Expand and improve quantitative/symbolic manipulation capabilities
- Apply oscillatory/wave phenomena to problem solving in the engineering context
- Measure, record, and analyze signals using A/D converters with various sensors interfaced to computers using appropriate software
- Explain both the power and limitations of a Maxwell’s equations approach in the conceptualization and design of engineered creations, especially in regards to EM/optical communications
