Experimental, Theoretical and Computational Physics
Levels 1 and 2 | 5 periods per week | 1.7 units
The course provides some of the core topics in physics essential for further studies in science and engineering. Some lessons build on the foundation of the fundamental concepts studied in Physics 1 and Physics 2 and present these concepts under unifying themes, so the students would come to appreciate physics as a science governed by a cohesive set of underlying principles. Learning is facilitated through a series of laboratory activities, investigations, group discussions, and context-rich problem solving to help students develop critical thinking and reasoning skills. This course intends to provide students enduring understanding of physics to support future advanced course work in engineering and the sciences.
