Description
PHYS 135. HORIZONS IN PHYSICS. Discussion of current topics in physics. Since scientific journals will provide much of the content for this course, students will learn how to acquire and interpret articles from scholarly publications. In addition, students will be required to attend presentations by physicists actively engaged in research, as well as field trips to academic and industrial laboratories in the area. This course is open to all students but, in the event that the class becomes full, preference is given to physics majors. Fall semester only, one hour.
