Open Physics Education Modules for Non-Science Majors (OPEM)

Project will convert two existing half courses at Carleton University (PHYS 1905: ‘How Things Work: Physics in Everyday Life’ and PHYS 2903: ‘Physics and the Imagination’) into Open Physics Education Modules for Non-Science Majors.

Proposed open content modules for non-science students will be structured into eleven thematic topics:

  1. Transportation
  2. Sports
  3. Weather and climate
  4. Home electricity
  5. Sound and music
  6. Light and color
  7. Green energy
  8. Medical imaging
  9. The Galaxy and beyond
  10. Recent advances
  11. The cell phone.
