9.0 General Education Learning Outcomes supported by this course Course Learning Outcomes Mapped to RIT General Education Learning Outcomes GELO General Education Learning Outcome CLO Assessment Category Number Supported by the Course Number Method 10.0 Other relevant information Include items such as special classroom, studio, or lab needs, special scheduling, media requirements, etc. here. Instructional Methodologies Used to Achieve the CLOs This is a hybrid lecture and laboratory course. Each week will begin with a lead-off lecture presented by the course professor. This lecture will introduce a fundamental concept of classical mechanics, and relate this concept to foundation math courses, experimental validation, and data analysis. Students will participate in a laboratory activity each week, wherein they will learn how to use modern data acquisition and experimental techniques to investigate the concept. Students will also participate in a computer laboratory activity each week, wherein they will learn how to use modern tools for presentation, analysis, and interpretation of experimental data. Students will conclude each week with a recitation period, wherein they will apply the concept to the solution of practical problems. Students will be assigned homework problems to be completed individually. Student lab groups will be assigned projects to be completed in a group, with individual and group submissions. Students may collaborate with one another to learn course material, but all work presented for evaluation must represent the individual effort of the student. Other information relevant to the conversion from quarters to semesters. This course is used to satisfy one credit of ABET science laboratory experience requirement. 11.0 Supplemental information for Optional Course Designations: If the course is to be considered as writing intensive or as a general education or honors course, include the sections of the course syllabus that would support this designation. This course is not being considered for honors level designation. 11.1 General Education Committee Feedback to Course Proposers: This course is not being considered for General Education credit, This course will be used to satisfy one credit of ABET science laboratory designation. The laboratory experiences herein are modeled after those used in University Physics I and AP Physics MECH-C course, with additional engineering laboratory content related to laboratory data acquisition, data plotting, and error analysis significantly more in-depth than those used in University Physics I. 11.2 Writing Intensive Committee Feedback to Course Proposers:
This course is not being considered for writing intensive designation.
