Physics

Problem Solving: Physics students: (a) can identify the essential physical principles underlying both idealized and real world problems. (b) can express problems in the language of mathematics, and (c) solve problems alone and in teams using a variety of tools including estimation, simplified models, computational methods, and graphical representations.

Science Methods: Physics students: (a) can articulate the role of observation and the interplay between experiment and theory in scientific progress. (b) can collect and analyze experimental data, and (c) estimate and understand the statistical significance and confidence levels of an experimental result.

Science Communication: Physics students can present experimental results and complex physics principles in both written and oral formats with proper citations.

Science and Society: Physics students: (a) can apply physics concepts to contemporary systems, and (b) recognize the contributions and value of diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and identities within physics and science.
