PHYS149: Physics for Technology |
PHYS149 develops a conceptual and quantitative approach to key Physics topics including waves, light and sound; electricity; forces and motion; communications and photonics; with illustrations of these topics using technological applications. It teaches students to apply knowledge of science and engineering fundamentals, to think and reason logically and creatively, and to communicate effectively. The key role of modelling in understanding and describing the natural world is supported by a development of the basic techniques of physical measurements, data analysis and verification of models. Written communication skills in the context of report writing, and problem-solving techniques, are emphasised throughout the unit.
