| This course is an introduction to physics with a minimal amount of mathematics. It is designed for non-science majors who are fulfilling the science requirement of their general education program. To help students form a coherent view of general education this course is built around a current, important issue faced by society: How to address the challenges posed by our current energy consumption and by the need to develop renewable energy sources in a sustainable way. The standard physics topics: Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Atomic and Nuclear physics are woven in thematic discussions of the central issues. Climate change is used as a practical case study to introduce students to scientific reasoning and methodologies. The course makes extensive use of multimedia components (videos and interactive simulations) and relies on up-to-date documentation. |
