| Course Learning Outcomes |
Students would have up to date information, software, theoretical and practical knowledge on Physics. Moreover, they will be equipped with knowledge sufficiently to use Physics related resources. Students would acquire theoretical knowledge on subject of Physics theories. They could apply the theoretical knowledge gained in the field of Physics. Students would be able to analyze the experimental results. They would acquire the ability to figure out the physical concepts and issues in the field of Physics through scientific methods and interprete them. Students could define the physical problems, establish experimental setup to examine the hypothesis, develop solutions based on theory and interprete them. |
