This course may be used to satisfy one credit toward the science, elective, fine arts or career and technical education requirement of the standard or advanced studies diploma. The course is the second year of the two-year college preparatory, laboratory-based Engineering Physics sequence; and is designed for students anticipating careers in the physical sciences, engineering, technology, medicine, or other research, and experimentation disciplines. The course begins with a review of mathematical and basic physics and engineering concepts to assure that all students are brought to a consistent level of preparedness. Curriculum topics include universal concepts, inquiry processes, fundamental constants, special relativity, rotational dynamics, waves and vibrations, energy conversion, transducers, electromagnetic radiation, optical measurements, and exponential behavior. These topics are addressed in the context of mechanical, fluid, electrical, thermal, and aerospace systems. Students complete approximately 50 hours of laboratory experimentation and participation in advanced technology competitions. The course may include curriculum-related field trips and college-oriented information seminars. Individual academies apply the curriculum in the manner that best fits local facilities and opportunities. Participating students may compete for a limited number of industry internships.
