PHY 321 - Advanced Laboratory (4 Cr.)

(DA-AC)

In this course, students will work in groups to plan, carry out, and analyze a series of sophisticated experimental measurements or demonstrations of an engineering principle. Each experiment or demonstration will include formulation of a clear and testable question, appropriate modeling and/or theoretical analysis, and communication or presentation of results. The course will focus on developing real-world problem-solving skills and instrumentation/analysis choices and relating them to fundamental theoretical principles. Significant project component. Pre-requisite: PHY 225. Spring semester, alternate years (last offered 2023-24).
