Students in this program will:

Learning Outcome

1. Knowledge - Students will demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of physics which include mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.

Learning Outcome

2. Theoretical-Analytical- Students will competently apply this knowledge and analyze physical systems by constructing mathematical models in which they identify the essential aspects of a problem, formulate a strategy for solution, make appropriate approximations, evaluate the correctness of their solution, and communicate their work clearly.

Learning Outcome

3. Computational - Students will use basic computational techniques for modeling physical systems including those that don't have analytical answers.

Learning Outcome

4. Experimental - Students will systematically explore physical phenomena by setting up experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting their results.

Learning Outcome

5. Communication - Students will communicate physics concepts, processes, and results effectively, both verbally and in writing.
