Engineering Physics Laboratory I

3 Units

Laboratory course for engineering physics majors. Emphasis is on experimental techniques, data and error analysis, and written and oral presentation of work. Four experiments drawn from classical and modern physics are carried out. These emphasize condensed matter, material and optical physics. Experiments include electric fields, resistivity of materials, optical interference, chaotic systems, and spectroscopy. Design of data analysis systems and software is required. Counts as a Disciplinary Communication course. Prereq: PHYS 208 . Coreq: PHYS 303 .
