Objectives—The
physics program is designed to help students understand the concepts of
classical and modern physics while also developing their ability to solve
quantitative problems in these areas. It provides the opportunity for
students to acquire the skills necessary to perform experimental work. The
program develops students' ability to communicate, in form and content, both
verbally and in writing, the results of scientific work. The
physics program offers a background suitable for students planning to pursue
graduate study or careers in industry, research, or teaching. It also
provides a solid foundation for any career requiring analytical reasoning. |
