College: Physical science for nonscientists

MAR 01, 1967

DURING 1963 AND 1964 the Commission on College Physics and the Advisory Council for College Chemistry sponsored a series of conferences to encourage the birth of a project to design a new two‐semester course in physical science for nonscience majors, chiefly for prospective elementary‐school teachers. As an outgrowth of these conferences the PSNS Project was born in April 1965 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, under a grant from the National Science Foundation.
