SCNCE-200

This course will introduce students to the relevance of Feedback in Physics and various areas of Design, use a wide range of concepts in physics linked to problems in Design, provide a brief exposure to the concepts and importance of Modern Physics, and give students a taste of doing science through conducting demonstrations and presenting projects in class. It will include a level of mathematics that assumes simple algebra and trigonometry. Assignments and demos will be selected to highlight work in Interaction Design, Industrial Design, Fashion Design and Furniture Design. Areas covered will include topics in Mechanics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics (Entropy and Efficiency), Feedback, Structural Stress and Strain, Environmental Stress, Transduction, Electricity and Magnetism; Sustainability will be considered in the Design process.
