College Physics 1
PHY 4111 / 4 q.h.
May 29 - June 23
Boston MW 5:30 PM-9:30 PM
Introduction to measurement, estimating, mechanics: kinematics and dynamics, translational motion, vectors, circular motion, gravitation, work, energy and power, momentum, and rotational motion. Laboratory experiments and classroom demonstrations are an integral component of this course. (This course is part one of a three-part, 4-quarter-hour sequence intended for the health and science programs and cannot be utilized for credit toward technology degrees in the School of Engineering Technology.)
Prerequisite: MTH 4107 College Algebra or equivalent.

June 25 - July 21
Boston MW 5:45 PM-9:30 PM
Introduction to static equilibrium, elasticity and fracture, fluids, vibrations and waves, sound, temperature and kinetic theory, heat, and laws of thermodynamics. Laboratory experiments and classroom demonstrations are an integral component of this course. (This course is part two of a three-part, 4-quarter-hour sequence intended for the health and science programs and cannot be utilized for credit toward technology degrees in the School of Engineering Technology.)
Prerequisite: PHY 4111 College Physics 1.
College Physics 3
PHY 4113 / 4 q.h.
July 23 - August 18
Boston MW 5:45 PM-9:30 PM
Introduction to electric charge and electric field, electric potential, electric current, DC circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction and Faraday’s Law, electromagnetic waves, light, geometric optics, and the wave nature of light. Laboratory experiments and classroom demonstrations are an integral component of this course. (This course is part three of a three-part, 4-quarter-hour sequence intended for the health and science programs and cannot be utilized for credit toward technology degrees in the School of Engineering Technology.)
Prerequisite: PHY 4112 College Physics 2.
Physics 1
PHY 4141 / 5 q.h.
June 25 - August 18
Boston TuTh 6:00 PM-8:30 PM
Explores vectors, kinematics in one and two dimensions, Newton’s Law, work and energy, momentum, rotational kinematics and dynamics, electric potential, and AC & DC circuits. This course is intended for non-engineering technology students and cannot be used for credit toward technology degrees in the Lowell Institute School. Some departments may accept PHY 4141 Physics 1 and PHY 4143 Physics 2 as their requirements for a year of physics. Before choosing this sequence, contact the school you wish to apply to for their preference for a physics course sequence.
