Instructor's Manual (Physics of Technology Series)

The Physics of Technology program is a 28-module introduction to physics at a pre-calculus level. There is an inherent flexibility in this approach, as 8 to 12 modules would constitute a standard three-hour/two-semester introductory course with laboratory. The project was originally aimed at students of engineering technology, but the modules are also useful with a broad spectrum of liberal arts students and highly motivational for students of less demanding disciplines. Each module centers on a common technological device (such as the toaster) and the physical principles upon which it is built. Thus, physics is not presented as a series of isolated and separate concepts. Rather, physics is seen as the dynamic integration of laws which form the basis for our modern technological society. Each module is inquiry-based. It presents the device in the laboratory in such a way that questions are elicited from the student, who is then guided through a laboratory-oriented exploration to the "discovery" of underlying physical principles. The Physics of Technology program is easily adapted to various forms of individualized study. Each module is divided into three sections (levels) and inclu
