& Grader for Electricity & Magnetism II (Physics 442)
TEACHING
Courses Taught
Physics 2010/2020,
College Physics 1 & 2: algebra-based introductory physics courses that
cover the topics of kinematics, energy and momentum conservation, thermal
physics, fluids, optics, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics.
Physics 3210,
Introduction to Experimental Physics 1: an intermediate lab course that
emphasizes experiments in modern physics, error analysis and propagation,
formal written reports, and formal oral presentation.
Physics 3220,
Introduction to Experimental Physics II: an intermediate laboratory course
that emphasizes programming and principles of data acquisition using NI
LabVIEW, an industry-standard software package.
Physics 3230, Principles
of Electronics: an intermediate lab/lecture
course that emphasizes basic elements of DC, AC, and digital circuits,
with both theory and application. Students build and test such circuits
using advanced mathematical techniques (e.g., differential equations and
complex variables) and measuring instruments (e.g., oscilloscopes and
digital multimeters). They utilize these skills to build a final project.
