PHY 251From Galileo To CERN, Experimental1

1 Lecture Hours Description This course is a direct exploration of the places where Galileo performed the first physics experiments and of CERN, the largest modern physics experiment in the world. The core of the course is an eight-day trip to Geneva, Switzerland and Tuscany, Italy. Students travel to Florence, where they visit world-famous science museums, such as the Galileo Museum and art museums, such as the Uffizi. CERN, located in Geneva, Switzerland, is the largest-ever science experiment involving state-of-the-art technology and over 5000 scientists. Students observe how physics has evolved through the centuries and how real-life science is carried out, all while experiencing the rich culture of Europe. Some preparatory coursework takes place before the trip itself. A separate travel fee is paid to the educational tour company that organizes the logistics for the trip. The students must provide their own passports and travel insurance. This course is graded on a pass/fail basis. Learning Outcomes
