1) PERSONAL LEADERSHIP
Prof. Vinh Q. Nguyen
Leading and conquering oneself is the greatest victory in life. Personal leadership is the leadership of the self and this is the foundation of successful leadership. Peter Drucker, a well-known expert and founder of modern management, said self-leadership is the only leadership that is going to matter in the 21st century. This course will discuss the art and science of personal leadership. The objective of the course is to help students develop an awareness and understanding of the keys to successful self-leadership.
2) QUANTUM PHYSICS vs NEWTONIAN PHYSICS
Prof. Ugur Akgun
This course will be divided into two parts. Students will learn the foundations of the Classical Physics and Quantum Physics, and compare the main differences.
Introduction to Quantum Physics: Introductory study of the phenomena, techniques and models of modern physics including quantum phenomena, special relativity physics and their interpretive models will be covered in the lectures. In the hand-on laboratories, the students will perform historically groundbreaking experiments such as e/m experiment, atomic spectra, quantum analogs, and x-rays.
Newtonian Physics: The scientific revolution started with Sir Isaac Newton’s development of classical mechanics in 17th century. In this course the students are going on a journey that will cover classical physics until quantum era. Topics will include kinematics, dynamics, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, light, and astronomy. There will also be daily laboratory sessions to improve our conceptual understanding with hands-on exercises.
