SCI-3220: Physics of Urban Systems

This course develops students’ conceptual understanding of the principles of physical laws that regulate and influence the functioning of urban systems. The major topics explored include energy transformation and flow, work and energy, how motion is measured and changed, heat, and systems. Utilizing an investigative approach, the course evokes and develops the personal experience of students in the class as participant-observers in an urban system. This basis of understanding allows students to critically analyze issues that confront urban systems on a daily basis, and to become advocates for productive solutions to those issues.
