PHYS 155 Robotics and Experimental Physics
Natural Science with Lab. Learn how to build and control simple robotic devices, and along the way you will learn the fundamentals of logic and control common to all computer programming languages. We will perform numerous discovery exercises in the laboratory, to introduce and practice experimental methods and mathematical modeling useful for physics. This course satisfies the Core requirement for a laboratory course in the natural sciences. Students who have taken
PHYS 205 or CS 120 must have instructor approval to enroll in
PHYS 155/
ENGR 155. Two two-hour laboratories per week.
