Students will develop a mixed reality application with lab time to implement the application. Programming and application development using Unity and C Sharp. Discussion on the benefit of augmented reality applications for teaching and training. An introduction to virtual reality and mixed reality platforms. PHYS 147 Augmented Reality for Teaching in Science (2)Īugmented reality application for teaching and demonstrating concepts in science. This program is closely associated with the CWRU Department of Physics and includes courses and a degree program.) ( This course has not been offered since fall 2007 and there are no plans to offer it in the near future but students who find it interesting should check out the Institute for Origins program at. This course will provide undergraduates, both science and non-science majors, with a general perspective of the modern state of our physical understanding of the universe, including outstanding puzzles at the forefront of modern science, focusing on the questions of origins: the origin of the universe, of our galaxy, of matter, of life, etc. PHYS 137 Scientific Frontiers: Origins (3) Students may earn credit for only one of the following courses: PHYS 116, PHYS 122, PHYS 124.

Principles of Physics Lab Electricity and Magnetism (1) The laboratory portion of the first semester introductory physics. Physics faculty teach or have taught a variety of First and University Seminars you can find some of these seminars near the bottom of this page. Students can, however, request syllabi from current and past instructors of each course.) (NOTE: As of, this site is not accessible and there is no word when this will change. Students who don’t have an advisory prerequisite or co-requisite should consult with the instructor before enrolling in the course if you skip this step you will take the course at your own risk.ĬWRU students can find syllabi for physics courses at (CWRU login required). Students who do not have a required prerequisite may request a permit from the course instructor to override this requirement. Unless they are identified as advisory, the prerequisites and co-requisites listed on this page will be enforced by the Student Information System during registration.
