Introduction to Physics (Physics 116) The natural world can be described quantitatively. In Physics 116 we ask questions about the physical world around us and develop the mathematical skills to address these questions. Laboratory experiment will give us confidence in our predictive power as scientists. This class is designed for students interested in science but who may not wish to pursue a degree in physics.
Comprehensive Laboratory II (Physics 396) This course is intended as an experimental capstone for physics majors but is also accessible to other science majors interested in experimental techniques. The course focuses on computerized data acquisition and experimental design. Students will become fluent in LabVIEW and be exposed to multiple data acquistion systems. A significant portion of this course is a student directed project.
Introduction to Astronomy (Physics 101) Astronomy is one of our oldest sciences. In this course we will explore the mysteries of the universe. While a qualitative understanding of concepts is emphasized, Phys 101 also invites students to discover their ability to quantatively address our natural world.
Augsburg First Year Seminar (Aug 101) This course is an introduction to the Augsburg Community for first year students interested in physics and engineering. Whether building a clock, touring the research facilities at St. Anthony Falls, or measuring the viscosity of eggnog, AugSem encourages students to become active members of our academic community.
