The physics department has developed six learning aims for the physics major: - Students will develop a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of physics, including:
- a firm conceptual grasp of the central principles of physics,
- an ability to work with the concepts mathematically, and
- a functional understanding of how these ideas play out in the real world - Students will develop a flexible and creative problem-solving ability
- Students will develop an integrated understanding of the unity of physics
- Students will develop their ability to communicate ideas of science
- Students will develop a functional understanding of symbolic and numerical computation
- Students will develop an expertise in experimental methodologies
A more complete description of these learning aims appears in this document. |
