Introduction to engineering disciplines and careers, role of engineers in society, engineering approach to design process and problem solving. Typical offering schedule: fall

This course is designed for non-science majors with an interest in physics. This course emphasizes the relevance of physics to twenty-first century living. The guiding principle in selecting topics for this course is to present basic concepts that are relevant to an informed individual in today's society. The student will be involved not only in the body of knowledge that is physics, but also in the method that is physics. This class consists of three classroom hours and two lab hours per week for a total of four credits. IAI Code: P1 900L. Typical offering schedule: spring
