PHYS 180 - FS: First-year Seminar

Credits: 3 or 4 Prerequisite: First-year class standing. Additional course fee required. A seminar for first-year students.

Spring 2021, PHYS 180-01: First-Year Seminar: Hands-on Technology (4). Prerequisite: First-year class standing. Have you ever wondered how a touchscreen works? Or a battery? Or where you electricity comes from, or how you can use it to power a fan (or a car)? Find out with a hands-on, inquiry-based tour of modern technology, where you learn about each device by building a prototype and under- standing the concepts upon which it relies. Students will demonstrate proficiency by presenting their prototypes and the theory behind them in regular written reports and oral presentations. No background in physics or mathematics beyond high school algebra is required. No additional fees. (SL) McClain.
