Current catalog description:
PHYS 213 - Fundamentals of Physics I (3 credits). (Prereq: PHYS 211/PHYS 211L with a grade of ‘C’ or better) (Coreq: PHYS 213L) A continuation of PHYS 211 for physics, engineering, and other interested science students.

Proposed catalog description, in the present tense, including prefix, number, title, (credits), (prerequisites), (co-requisites), course description, and semesters offered. Catalog description should be exactly as it is to appear in the catalog.:
PHYS 213 - Fundamentals of Physics I (3 credits). (Prereq: MATH 160 with a grade of ‘C’ or better and PHYS 211/PHYS 211L with a grade of ‘C’ or better) (Coreq: PHYS 213L) A continuation of calculus-based physics for physics, engineering, and other interested science students. Topics covered include oscillation, fluids, thermodynamics, wave motion, and optics. F.

What research has led to this request?
This course change is a companion prerequisite change to the change for PHYS 211/L to have MATH 160 as coreq. instead of prereq. These two changes provide greater ease of access to the 200-level PHYS sequence while still ensuring that students to do progress to more advanced topics in that sequence without the necessary skills in calculus.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
The main impact will be positive as students will have greater ease of access to the 200-level physics sequence but will also have the necessary calculus skills to be successful.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
This course is already taught in load every F term by the department and it is not anticipated that this change will increase enrollment sufficient to warrant additional sections.
