The key challenges faced by the teaching of science include insufficient hands-on laboratory usage in classrooms. The main objective of the paper is to present learning approach of usage VISIR Open Lab Platform for teaching Ohm ́s Law in Physics curriculum of second...

A Cheap Wi-fi Instrumentation Remote Control Platform for Electric and Electronic Didactic Laboratory

Remote control of instrumentations and the connected measurement techniques represent an interesting topic particularly appreciated in some sectors as industry, research and e-learning. The current technologies allow to fully control modern instrumentation that is already conceived for this aim, while it is harder to manage old instrumentation not specifically designed for this kind of control....

Interdisciplinary Research in Physics

Building interdisciplinary research models: a didactic course to prepare interdisciplinary scholars and faculty.

Many academicians assume that anyone can engage in interdisciplinary research, but it is clear that successful interdisciplinary efforts require mastery of specific competencies that can be learned and improved. This paper describes the development and implementation of a course designed for Master's, pre- and postdoctoral students and research faculty on models of interdisciplinary research sk...

Grand challenges in interdisciplinary physics

The dictionary definition of physics is the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them1. There is no doubt that this definition does describe the core of physics. However, over the last three decades, a shift has occured. Physics has spilled over its boundaries set by the definition quoted, and we now have fields such as econophysics, sociophysics, biological physics, and geologi...
