Objectives
Our goals are to help students:
1. Appreciate the role of science in society and the historical development of
physics in the ongoing quest to discover the structure of the universe.
2. Gain an understanding of the basic principles and the experimental basis of
the various fields of physics and the logical relationships of the various
fields.
3. Become capable problem solvers using techniques that require mathematical
skills, conceptual and mathematical models, order-of-magnitude estimates
and an understanding of limiting cases.
4. Develop competence in designing, constructing and using laboratory
instruments and to draw valid conclusions from experimental data.
5. Develop competence in using computers for computation, data acquisition,
numerical control, device development and information acquisition and
processing.
6. Improve written and oral technical communication skills.
