DESCRIPTION | - Students will demonstrate competence in applying the principles and theories of physics governing the motion of macroscopic objects, including topics in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and optics.
- All students must demonstrate competence in an experimental setting by collecting data and applying the scientific method within a laboratory setting.
- Students will be able to articulate the foundational assumptions, central ideas, and experimental evidences for physics laws and phenomena, both orally and in writing with undergraduate research focused on experimental, as opposed to theoretical projects for a smaller group of physics majors.
- Students will acquire an understanding of the academic & professional integrity.
- Students will recognize when there is a need for information and identify, locate, evaluate and effectively and responsibly use and convey that information to address the need or problem at hand.
- Students will interact with other students and evaluate the effort put into team tasks, interactions with others, and the quantity and quality made to team discussions.
- Students will comprehensively explore issues, ideas, artifacts and events before accepting or formulating an opinion or conclusion, and combine or synthesize existing ideas, images or expertise in original ways reflecting a high degree of innovation, divergent thinking, and risk taking.
- Students will design, evaluate, and implement a strategy to answer an open-ended question or achieve a desired goal.
- Students will be able to systematically explore issues, objects or works through the collection and analysis of evidence that results in informed conclusions or judgments, and break down complex topics or issues into parts to gain a better understanding of them.
