G 410/510 Sensors and Instrumentation
CH S-69 CH S-69 This course will be offered for the first time in Fall 2009 using the Geology Department's SAIL facility. It will focus on the construction and use of electronic instrumentation useful for Earth and Environmental Sciences Electricity and Magnetism from the undergraduate Physics sequence. Some programming experience (e.g., G324/G326, G523) ** The primary readings for this course will be from Barnaal, supplemented with Horowitz and Hill ** 5340 6 Barnaal, D.
