Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

PHYSICS

Description:

Experimentation in physics topics and applications related to PHYS 101 or PHYS 201( e.g.,kinematics, dynamics, heat, sound, and related phenomena) Pre-requisite or co-requisite:PHYS 101 or PHYS 201. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: (1) Take measurements of physical properties in experiments with digital or analog equipment(e.g calipers, meter sticks, timers, scales) (2) Estimate measurements errors, propagate them in calculations, and interpret their significance. (3) Tabulate data, perform calculations, and produce clear and accurate graphs. (4) Develop mathematical models and relationships based on collected data and interpret them to explain physical phenomena. (5) Synthesize and report experimental findings through oral presentations, written reports, and/or other methods of communication. (6) Design an experiment or an engineering project to answer a scientific problem or engineering challenge.
