PHY 114 - Technical Physics 2
Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: PHY 113
Description
This course is a continuation of PHY 113 . Emphasis is on technical application of physical concepts developed through the application of the four energy forms. Everyday applications are examined in the laboratory.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
