物理

的 应用物理 provides students with physics experience that will complement their chosen major(s). This concentration in physics may give students an advant年龄 when applying for certain technical positions of employment or graduate programs.

的 minor will consist of at least 18 hours, comprised of  the following three core subjects (12 hours):

2439年体育. 大学物理I. 的 first semester of a two-semester, calculus-based sequence in classical physics for mathematics, 物理科学, pre-engineering or engineering students. Topics include vector mechanics and kinematics.  Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory period per week. 秋天，奇数年. Co-requisite: MAT 2451. 四个学时.

2449年体育. 大学物理ii. Continuation of 2439年体育, covering topics in thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory period per week. 春天，甚至是岁月. Prerequisites: 2439年体育 and MAT 2451. 四个学时.

存在2403年. 静力学和动力学.  Statics:  Force- and moment-vectors; equivalent force-couple systems; force equilibrium and free body diagrams; trusses, 光线, and cables; dry frictional forces; centroids, 分布式负载, and hydrostatic loading; moments of inertia. 动态:位置, 速度, and acceleration; Newton’s laws of motion; linear and curvilinear motion; particle and rigid body kinematics; linear and angular momentum; work-energy; elastic impact and impulse-momentum; vibrations and periods of oscillation.  Four hours lecture per week.  春天.  Prerequisites: 物理 2439 (University 物理 I) and credit or concurrent enrollment in MAT 2461 (Calculus II).  四个学时.

And at least 6 hours chosen from:

存在3331年.  热力学.  Introduction to the fundamental principles of classical engineering thermodynamics. Application of mass and energy balances to closed and open systems including systems undergoing transient processes.  Entropy generation and the second law of thermodynamics for closed and open systems.  Introduction to phase equilibrium and chemical reaction equilibria. Ideal solution behavior.  Three hours lecture per week.  秋天. Prerequisites: 2449年体育 (University 物理 II), CHE 1489 (General 化学 II), and MAT 2461 (Calculus II).  三个学时.

存在3359年.  流体力学.  Fundamentals of fluid flow.  Conservation laws for mass, momentum and mechanical energy.  Flow of fluids in conduits and past immersed bodies.  Newton’s laws of viscosity, momentum transport, laminar and turbulent flow.  Velocity profiles, piping systems, pumping and mixing.  Three hours lecture per week.  春天.  Prerequisites: 存在2403年 and MAT 3361 (Calculus III).  三个学时.

存在4309年.  RESEARCH PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING. Implementation of an engineering research proposal via design of an experiment(s), collecting and analyzing data, drawing logical conclusions from the data, and formulating an approach to solve the problem. Such might entail student internships with an outside company.  春天.  Prerequisites: Credit or concurrent enrollment in ENS 4100.  三个学时.

车3311，车3321. PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY I, II. A two-semester study of the physical properties and structure of matter together with chemical interactions from the perspectives of thermodynamics, 量子力学, chemical kinetics and symmetry. Three hours lecture per week. CHE 3311, 秋天，奇数年; CHE 3321, 春天，甚至是岁月. Prerequisite: CHE 1489, MAT 2451, PHY 1419. 三个学时 each.

车3119，车3129. PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY I, II. An introduction to the equipment, methods and laboratory skills needed in modern physical chemistry. Four hours of laboratory per week. CHE 3119, 秋天，奇数年; CHE 3129, 春天，甚至是岁月. Prerequisite: Credit or concurrent enrollment in CHE 3311 or 3321. One semester hour each.

Courses that have been counted as part of another major or minor cannot be counted towards the Applied 物理 minor.
