Course details
This course meets the Physics 11 entrance requirement for BCIT programs. It is the student's responsibility to determine the grade they need to meet the requirement for their desired technology. This course offers an introduction to Physics and its basic principles. Emphasis is placed on good problem solving techniques and practical applications relevant to BCIT. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, equilibrium, energy, fluids, heat, electrostatics and direct current circuits. IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ PRIOR TO REGISTERING: This course serves as an upgrade course specifically for entry into BCIT programs and is not necessarily recognized as a Grade 11 or 12 equivalent by other institutions.

Important information
-
** IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ CAREFULLY AND READ IN FULL BEFORE REGISTERING ** This course will be delivered in a Hybrid format; Tuesday’s class will be held in person at the Burnaby campus and Thursday’s class will be online on Learning Hub (learn.bcit.ca). A computer with internet access is required. The course instructor will communicate with students through BCIT's Learning Hub learn.bcit.ca therefore it is important that students sign onto the Learning Hub learn.bcit.ca prior to the course start date to review any messages. Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents are exempt from payment of the TUITION portion of this course. If you are registering through the online system and are exempt from payment of the TUITION portion, your account will be adjusted within 2 business days after registration. ANCILLARY fees associated with registration in this course WILL BE CHARGED to ALL students and MUST BE PAID by ALL students. Students need to log into their myBCIT account upon registration to make payment for the ANCILLARY fees. THIS PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO SECURE A SEAT IN THE COURSE. Non-payment upon registration will result in the student being dropped from the course without prior notice therefore it is the STUDENT's responsibility to ensure that fees owing are paid on time. Any student who withdraws from the course AFTER it has begun will not be permitted to re-register and re-join the learning activities this term.
