In this lab course, students perform experiments illustrating the principles learned in Physics I (ENG 1302).
Course Aims:
The aims of this course are to explore the following points:
Fundamental, functional laboratory skill sets necessary to solve problems that they may encounter in Engineering Physicsrelated work place.
Contribution to a development of students’ practical skills.
Great emphasis is placed on developing student’s learning skills using experimental tools in physics labs.
Learn how to effectively work in a team environment when solving Engineering Physics related problems.
Course outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:
Integrate the scientific method into problemsolving and experimentation.
Develop good experimental technique, including proper setup and care of equipment, conducting experiments, obtaining and analyzing results in order to observe physical phenomena, assess experimental uncertainty, make meaningful comparisons between experiment and theory, and report verbally and in written language the results of the experiment.
Demonstrate basic communication skills by working in groups on laboratory experiments and the thoughtful discussion and interpretation of data.
