Statement
Student Outcomes – The student will:
1.
The student will demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of electrostatics, electricity
and magnetism and the interrelationship of electricity and magnetism.
2.
The student will demonstrate an understanding of the nature of light and basic principles of light
propagation, reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
3.
The student shall perform laboratory experiments to develop experimental techniques and to aid in
the achievement of Goals 1 and 2.
