Round 2: Flight, Floating, and Mars Courses

Abstract

“Exploring Mars†and “Flight and Floating†are new courses that have been integrated into the Ripon College curriculum. “Exploring Mars†was developed for non-science major students to increase their general scientific interest through topics of space exploration and space science. “Flight and Floating†was designed for students with physics, math, and engineering interests, combining experimental design and mathematical modeling to study drag, lift, thrust, and buoyancy.
