Student Learning Outcomes

Students who complete the Physics Program will be able to:

  • Utilize proper physics concepts and the relations among them to analyze problems qualitatively and quantitatively.
  • Critically apply the principle of conservation of energy in the study of motions.
  • Compose laboratory reports that describe the theory and experimental procedures, record and analyze data, and present conclusions and discussions.
  • Write solutions to physics problems that identify the assumptions and input, define symbols in equations, and detail the procedure of solving the equations.
  • Describe and explain the principles of operation of selected physical devices.

Students will be assessed through a combination of performance evaluations, written assignments, and written tests and quizzes.
