ENGN 251 - Experimental Methods in Physics and Engineering

(PHYS 251)
Credits: 3
Planned Offering: Offered when interest is expressed and departmental resources permit.

Prerequisite: PHYS 112 or instructor consent. An introduction to the design and implementation of experimental methods. Execution of the methods focuses on current data acquisition techniques, along with a study of standard data reduction and analysis. Results are examined in order to review the experimental method employed and to redesign the method for future experiments. This course is intended for any science major interested in performing experimental research on campus or in graduate school. Kuehner.
