A study of the physical principles relevant to the telecommunications field. This course teaches problem-solving techniques in basic mechanics and optics. It also covers, with a more qualitative approach, the subjects of thermodynamics, waves, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics. Class hrs. 4.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides the non-science student with an opportunity to explore the ever more important role of science and technology in contemporary society, presented in a nonmathematical context. Emphasis is placed on discussion, and an examination of scientific issues in today's world. A historical and philosophical foundation is provided. The use of feature films demonstrating the changing view of science and scientists by the media and as a vehicle for dramatizing critical social/scientific issues is an important component of the course. Class hrs. 3. No lab. Offered every semester and summer.
