Rensselaer, like many other technology-oriented institutions, attracts a large number of undergraduates interested in science and technology who major in other fields.  We have developed a 2000-level physics course with no prerequisites covering the science behind how information systems work.  This course, called ScIT, is taught in an interactive studio format, with hands-on experiments and computer simulations aiding the learning process.  Because of its novelty, we have produced nearly all of the materials, including the beginnings of a text, for ScIT.   ScIT is targeted at Computer Science, Information Technology and EMAC (graphic art) students, but the potential audience has proven much larger, extending to Engineering and Physics students.  In post-course evaluations, students from all backgrounds exhibited learning and indicated the course was worth their taking.  The learning evaluations, student opinion evaluations, and market feedback we have received indicate that ScIT is successful and will become a staple of our department.
