Course Description
Addendum to Course Description
This course continues the study of the physical, chemical and biological aspects of dental materials begun in DT 151. Basic principles of chemistry and physics are included along with use of the metric system. Prerequisite - Students must have completed DT 151 and MTH 20 with a grade of D or better in each or have instructor and department chair approval.
Intended Outcomes for the course
1. Solve metric problems and move between metric and the US system of measurement.
2. Describe the materials in dental technology using as they pertain to chemistry and physics.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
Student progress will be determined through written examination, class participation.
