2006-244: ALGEBRA-BASED PHYSICS FOR ALL DISCIPLINESGary Turner, Morningside College Page 11.167.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Algebra-based physics for all disciplinesAbstractA physics education strategy has been developed by which all STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics) students, regardless of major, take an algebra-based year-longphysics sequence (General Physics). The model is based on programs of study found in othercountries, and follows the approach used by international examining boards such as InternationalBaccalaureate (IB) and those administering the General Certificate of Education advanced level(GCE A-level
