ENGR 1102 Physical Modeling and Analysis Lab
In this course, students will learn and apply concepts from physics and calculus to model, analyze, and experiment on physical systems through a combination of instructional and laboratory sessions. Example systems to be modeled and analyzed in the class will feature linear and rotational motion, thermal conduction, and simple circuit elements. Students completing this course will be able to abstract a variety of physical systems into forms suitable for analysis and predict the behavior of these systems using analytical tools.
