PHY 2048 U02-U09 SYLLABUS Our technologically dependent world requires an understanding of the processes that led us here. Learning the basic concepts and ideas of scientific fields provides contact with not just those fields but with how science is done. In these courses students study the scientific method through examination of the foundational theories of modern scientific thought. Students apply scientific principles and theories to problem solving, evaluate scientific statements, and incorporate new information within the context of what is already known. Emphasizing the essential connection between theory and experiment, the hands-on laboratory experience provides the context for testing scientific theories
