Learning Outcomes:
- Students will be able to explain basics terminology, concepts and methods of physics.
- Students will be able to develop and communicate a broad knowledge of the physical principles that describe and contribute to the world around us.
- Students will be able to apply algebra, trigonometry and geometry to represent the world mathematically and model physical processes.
- Students will be able to analyze multiple-concept problems, appropriately determining the concepts and approaches needed for each aspect of the problem and separating pertinent information from extraneous information.
- Students will be able to analyze complex problems and systems by breaking them into series of simpler problems based on the basic laws of physics.
- Students will be able to apply scientific methods of inquiry to gather and analyze data, draw evidence-based conclusions, and present data in graphical and tabular form with proper annotation.
- Students will be able to demonstrate how experimental data supports scientific arguments in a logical fashion.
