Physics education is a program designed to prepare effective high school physics teachers. Physics utilizes analytical problem solving skills cultivated through the study of physics and mathematics to describe theoretically the fundamental principles of the universe. A degree in physics education will prepare a student to be a secondary (7th - 12th grades) physics teacher, an area with high demand.
Program Learning Goals. Upon completion:
1: Students will be able to apply the principles of physics theory and mathematically describe physical systems.
2: Students will demonstrate quantitative reasoning skills.
3: Students will effectively participate in scientific communication.
4: Students will apply physics principles in practical lab settings, including experiment design and data collection.
5: Students will articulate a Christian worldview on how the study of physics is impacted by the philosophical premise of being created in the image of God.
