This course will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically
: in areas of Electricity, Magnetism and Optics. Students will define
concepts, state and explain laws and theories, perform investigations via
laboratory exercises and verbally and in writing, discuss the results and
relationships with peers and facilitators The designated lecture session is
used to discuss results of investigations leading to its relation to the existing
laws, principles or theories. Lecture sessions employ a mixture of lectures
and active learning (self and peer discussions). The outcomes shall be
assessed through a variety of tools which include the written examination,
concept maps, inventories, informal interviews and classroom engagement.
Upon completing the course students will be able to:
:

1. Know and understand the fundamental concepts of physics and gain

insight in everyday phenomena.
2. Solve quantitative problems by applying physical principles using
idealized models to represent physical systems.
3. Develop problem solving skills that may be applied to engineering
and technology.
4. Develop a creative mind such as asking appropriate questions, design
experiments, answer questions and draw right conclusions from
results.
