PHYSICS 118
Electronics for Physical Measurements
Description: Lecture, three hours; laboratory, four hours. Requisites: courses 1A, 1B, 1C, 117, Mathematics 32A, 32B, 33A. Provides students with opportunity to apply basic knowledge of circuit design for purpose of building stand-alone circuits with function related to control or measurement. Examples of physics-oriented projects include radio-frequency detection and measurement of mechanical resonances of bar, FM transmitter, speed of sound using radio-frequency pulsed ultrasound, sun-following pointers, cosmic ray detector. P/NP or letter grading.

Spring 2019 - This class is a big time commitment!! You are mostly on your own to complete your project and you can't really expect a lot of help from Hudson. That said, it was incredibly rewarding and well worth the effort. You get to pick any project you want (that is somehow related to physics) and design and build it all on your own. If you plan on doing experiment then definitely consider this class.
