This course is designed to help students develop the ability to perform scientific experiments and to enhance their understanding of the theoretical material presented in PHYS160 (Mechanics) by performing experiments with emphasis on the presentation and interpretation of experimental data. PHYS160 is a co-requisite to PHYS161.  The student will be required to make extensive use of computer-generated graphs and tables for displaying and analyzing experimental data.  This will be accomplished using Excel. Each laboratory station is equipped with a PC and necessary software.  Additional computing facilities are available on campus for students who require more time, but do not have access to the software at home
