Lower Division Course Requirements | Community College Course Equivalents | |
Support for the Major: | ||
| PHYS 050 General Physics/Mechanics | Phyc 4A Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4AL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | Phyc 4B Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4BL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | Phyc 4C Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4D Physics for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4CL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers AND Phyc 4DL Physics Lab for Scientists and Engineers | |
One course from the following: | ||
| MATH 050 Scientific Computing I | No Current Equivalent | |
| OR | ||
| CS 046A Introduction to Programming | CS 111A Intro to Programming: Java AND CS 111B Programming Fundamentals: Java | |
| OR | ||
