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.
- Describe the relevance of the fundamental principles of Classical Physics, Electromagnetisim,Light and Reletivity to the human experience.
- The student will be prepared for entry into courses requiring a full course in introductory, calculus-based, physics.
- locate and identify major physical features of the Earth, including rivers, mountains, deserts, seas, gulfs, plateaus, lakes, and plains.
