Physics

This course provides a non-mathematical, narrative-driven exploration of the universe, bridging fundamental astronomical science with modern space exploration technology, commerce, and policy. Students investigate cosmic phenomena from planetary systems to deep-space cosmology while analyzing the engineering, economic, legal, and ethical dimensions of humanity's expansion into space.

PHU 103 – Physics I is an introductory physics course designed for students in the College of Engineering at Alfaisal University. It is a required course that fulfills part of their science requirements. The course material requires knowledge of differential and integral calculus. Topics covered include the fundamentals of Newtonian mechanics, harmonic motion, mechanical waves, and sound. The course is supported by a mandatory laboratory component, which consists of approximately 11 experiments conducted alongside the theoretical material covered in class.
