When to Take Physics Experiment

This page explains the 2026 placement, required status, weekly schedule, and initial-enrollment term for Physics Experiment, including how it alternates with Chemistry Experiment.

Course placement and requirement status

For the 2026 curriculum, Physics Experiment is a first-year, one-credit required laboratory course offered for one semester. It is taught in two class periods per week. The available curriculum records do not support one universal semester placement across all departments: the Faculty of Engineering curriculum map lists the course in both the first- and second-semester columns, while the Faculty of Systems Design Engineering map places it in the second semester. For the 2026 Department of Electronic Systems Engineering allocation table, the supplied records identify the course as part of the curriculum but do not provide additional allocation details.

Initial enrollment term by department

The 2026 records do not give one consistent initial-enrollment term for every department. For the departments covered by the supplied Faculty of Engineering and related curriculum records, Physics Experiment is a first-year required course, but the instructions differ: some records say that students taking it for the first time must enroll in a first-semester class, while other records say they must enroll in a second-semester class. The department-specific records state the following: Design Engineering in the Faculty of Systems Design Engineering uses a second-semester class for initial enrollment; Mechanical Engineering uses a first-semester class; Information and Communications Engineering uses a second-semester class; and Information Systems Engineering in the Faculty of Systems Design Engineering places the course in the second semester for one credit.

Alternating schedule with Chemistry Experiment

Physics Experiment and Chemistry Experiment are each offered in two class periods per week and are scheduled in alternating weeks. The supplied 2026 records confirm this arrangement for the Faculty of Engineering departments covered by the records, including Electronic Systems Engineering and Applied Chemistry.
