IV. Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

• Apply foundational knowledge and models of Motion, Newtonian Mechanics, Energy, Momentum, and Thermodynamics as they apply to Electromagnetism to analyze and/or predict phenomena.
• Apply foundational knowledge and models of Light and Special Relativity to analyze and/or predict phenomena.
• Use appropriate mathematical tools in conjunction with physics concepts to solve problems.
• Understand the scientific method and apply scientific reasoning to critically evaluate assertions.
• Interpret and communicate scientific information via written, spoken, and/or visual representations.
• Describe the relevance of the principles of Motion, Newtonian Mechanics, Energy, Momentum, Thermodynamics, Light and Special Relativity to the human experience.
• Form and test a hypothesis in the laboratory using appropriate tools and techniques for data collection and/or analysis.
• Be prepared for entry into courses requiring a full course in introductory calculus-based physics.
