Teaching Work
Introduction to Mechanics
As a lecturer at San Jose State University, I had the opportunity to work with students in their introduction to mechanics lab course for Scientists and Engineers: Physics 50 Lab. This is a calculus based course. Through my various years helping the students in this course, I developed the following notes incorporating the background needed for students to perform their corresponding laboratory work during our lab meeting.
Significant Figures & Uncertainty
Vectors
Discussion of Experimental error using Free Fall and Newton's Laws Labs
Friction
Conservation of Energy
Conservation of Momentum
Ballistic Pendulum
Rotational Motion
Angular Momentum & Rotational Kinetic Energy
Torque and Equilibrium
Review of Mechanics
Intro to E/M and Optics
As lab coordinator at San Jose State university, I was in charge of updating and improving laboratory activities for the algebra based 2nd semester intro to physics course: Physics 2B. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, a fully online curriculum had to be developed. The following are the laboratory manual activities to the fully online program along with slides giving the theoretical background to these activities.
