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.
