Little by little, some educators are examining the content of their curriculum. Many start with the question "how can I show that the standard physics content is applicable to contemporary issues?" Some move on to "what topics in physics could we use to build a course that addresses contemporary issues?"
Contents
Physics for non-majors
Physics for engineers and other scientists
Physics for non-scientists/non-engineers
Hauke Busch explicitly discusses the departure from traditional physics curriculum and pedagogy.<bibref f="default.bib">Busch:2010Using-environmeAA</bibref> At Georgia College & State University, Busch and colleagues changed some of the traditional topics to some selected from "environmental physical science" in an attempt to make the course applicable to "current issues of interest."
