hi
I am teaching a semester long general physics class to electricians. =
Obviously I don't need to teach them about circuits. :)
What I thought I would do was try to focus on more relevant aspects. =
My thoughts for a course outline would be as follows
1. Vibrations, waves, sound and music.
2. Light, optics, optical instruments, diffraction and that stuff.
3. Energy
Then I thought I could go one of 2 ways. =20
I could either go onto to teach thermal physics or onto theories of t=
he atom and modern physics.
I am inclined to teach thermal though because there may be a few ac/h=
eating guys in this class. Also it is more likely that the students =
will work with ac, cars and such before they work with quarks.
I think that is plenty for a 16 week semester. =20
I just wanted some other thoughts (practical)
Thanks
