PhysicsCwithLarryBrowning CourseDescription:ElectricityandMagnetismisaone-semester,calculus-based,college-level physics course, especially appropriate for students planning to specialize or major in physical science or engineering. The course explores topics such as electrostatics; conductors, capacitors, and dielectrics; electric circuits; magnetic fields; and electromagnetism.

He earned a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue University in Physics. Over the years he has been instrumental in developing over 20 Eisenhower/NCLB professional development workshops for middle and high school teachers, has been a part of the American Association of Physics Teachers’ Rural Physics Teaching Resource Agents (Rural-PTRA), as well as serving as an AP Consultant in Physics. He also teaches the physics portion of the 7-12 Science Methods course at SDSU. When he is not discussing pressure and leverage with T-Rexes near Faith, SD, he enjoys putting on science demonstrationprogramsacrossSouthDakotaandtheregionoftenwithDr.MattMillerofthe ChemistryandBio-ChemistryDepartmentatSDSU.
