Students are expected to acquire a core knowledge in physics, including the major premises of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetic theory, electronics, optics, special theory of relativity and modern physics.
Students are also expected to develop a written and oral communication skills in communicating physics-related topics.
Students should learn how to design and conduct an experiment (or series of experiments) demonstrating their understanding of the scientific method and processes. Not only that they are expected to have an understanding of the analytical methods required to interpret and analyze results and draw conclusions as supported by their data.
Students will develop the proficiency in the acquisition of data using a variety of laboratory instruments and in the analysis and interpretation of such data.
Students will learn the applications of numerical techniques for modeling physical systems for which analytical methods are inappropriate or of limited utility.
Students will realize and develop an understanding of the impact of physics and science on society.
Apply conceptual understanding of the physics to general real-world situations.
Describe the methodology of science and the relationship between observation and theory.
Learn to minimize contributing variables and recognize the limitations of equipment.
Discover of physics concepts in other disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, engineering, and chemistry.
Develop the following experimental tools: Numerically model simple physical systems using Euler's method, curve fitting, and error analysis.
Analyze physical problems and develop correct solutions using natural laws.
