PHYSICS CS 15C, Section 1 EC # 37705
EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS

This is the WEDNESDAY section. Sign up for one section or the other (Wednesday OR Friday - NOT BOTH!)

This is the third quarter of a year-long class designed to help you learn to do experimental physics research. The third quarter will focus on the design and construction of scientific apparatus. We will cover the operation of various metal-working machines, including the lathe, drill press, and milling machine, and how to solder and braze. You will also learn about materials, fasteners, and basic principles of mechanical design. You will have the opportunity to use a 3-D CAD (Computer Aided Design) program that will let you build parts in three dimensions and then obtain the requisite machine drawings from whichever views you choose. To put all this new knowledge to work, the class will attempt to design and build a specialized research instrument for one of the campus research groups.

This class is limited to 10 students.
