Course projects will provide the context for in-class instruction. Students will work in groups to develop models of the physical systems described in each project. Students will develop a solution to the proposed problem, which include both predictions and explanations of those predictions. Students are expected to develop these solutions in their groups and ensure that each member of the group understands the process, concepts, and results that are developed for each project. Additional information on projects are below. Project information will become available each week.
Below, we discuss how students (and their groups) should approach working with course projects.
Weekly projects are listed below. Each new project will be released at the beginning of the week in which students will work on it. Your instructors highly suggest that you take pictures of your white-boarded solution to each problem and share that solution with your group members.
