Implementation
Date: Fall 08 or Spring 09
Course: Combined algebra-based physics (College Physics I) with intermediate algebra and trig (Technical Mathematics I).
Proposed Outcomes: An enhanced experience for students taking both courses either at different times or during the same semester. The overall goal of the LC is to further the unde4rstanding of physics with improved math skills and make mathematics more meaningful with physics applications.
Attached is a PowerPoint presentation which provides an overview of the project as well as a specific lab assignment in addition to the full lab write-up and the integrated course outline.
