      Designed for the non-science major to partially fulfill general education requirements in the laboratory­based physical sciences.This course includes a study of three fundamental components of Newtonian mechanics: linear motion, momentum, energy, gravity, and satellite motion; fluid mechanics thermodynamics including thermal energy and heat transfer; electricity,magnetism; waves, sound and light waves, the properties of light, and atomic structure to establish a base in which the non­science student can view nature more perceptively. It is designed to correct a missing essential in the sciences, the practice of conceptualizing before calculating. Prerequisites: Acceptable placement scores or completion of Learning Support competencies.In rare and unusual circumstances, a course prerequisite can be overridden with the permission of the Curriculum lead for the discipline.
