Upon successful completion of PHYS 182, the student will perform with a minimum accuracy of 80 percent, the following objectives:

1. Develop conceptual and analytic skills solving a broad range of problems in classical and nonclassical physics, relativistic and quantum mechanics, and fundamental particles and interactions.
2. Verify dimensional analysis, approximation methods as applied to problems in Engineering Physics. Intensify skills and contrast mathematical techniques used in the first two semesters of Engineering Physics.
3. Solidify the conceptual basis of classical and nonclassical concepts by working a number of multifaceted problems with direct applications in the laboratory.
4. Develop a keen awareness and appreciation for the interrelationships and far reaching predictions of modern physics for the 21st century.

General Education Mission: PHYS 182 is a general education class that promotes the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will benefit students in their personal and professional endeavors.
