We had 2 terms of general introductory physics (common across engineering, and taught by Physics profs), then repeated any of the useful stuff as review in subsequent courses (MODS, dynamics - taken 1-2 years later and largely forgotten). I think Physics is something that's probably a good topic to customize to each discipline. The one department that was allowed to run their own curriculum split things in a way I thought was pretty useful - one intro class was essentially just statics, the other was Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics (and a bit of miscellaneous).Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128703930651822061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012099963418495439.post-50383306855776859752011-04-22T16:56:47.478-04:002011-04-22T16:56:47.478-04:00When I took my basic 1 semester of physics for EE ...When I took my basic 1 semester of physics for EE the prof introduced it with the mission statement of wanting to explain the difference between physicists and engineers. Not really a bad thing.<br /><br />The your second part might fit in better with EE for ME. Just like mechanics for EE is usually thought by someone from the ME department over here.Tobias Fnoreply@blogger.com
