Course Description: EF 152 continues with the physics concepts of 151, covering such topics as statics, harmonic motion, waves, fluids, and thermodynamics. The course builds on the communication and team skills learned in 151, with a series of integrated projects throughout the semester.
Course Description (Catalog): 152 Physics for Engineers II (4) Calculus based study of basic physics concepts including rotational dynamics, statics, oscillations, waves, fluids, heat and temperature, and first and second law of thermodynamics. Introduction to team work. Introduction to the engineering disciplines, examination of engineering principles and design issues; oral and written presentation skills.
Grading:
a) Exams (65%) - four module exams (11% each) and a comprehensive final exam (21%). Improvement incentive: if you score higher on the final exam than a module exam, the module exam weighting will be changed to 8% and the final exam weighting will be increased by 3%. This applies to each module exam.
b) Homework (15%)
c) Team Projects (10%)
d) Participation (5%)
e) Portfolio (5%)
The course grading is:
