What is the program about?

Program Outcomes

• Design and execute a scientific investigation: develop and evaluate cause and effect scenarios, isolate variables, design and execute controlled experiments accounting for uncertainties, outliers and other statistical variants, develop empirical relationships between key variables.
• Describe the fundamental principles and concepts of physics appropriate to introductory level physics and recognize patterns in nature.
• Analyze a wide variety of physical phenomena and systems by constructing mathematical models, make appropriate approximations, formulate a solution using multiple representations when appropriate and evaluate the solution for accuracy and consistency.
• Express technical and scientific ideas in clear, concise language avoiding unnecessary jargon, without sacrificing precision.

Career Opportunities

Physics can be the pathway to a variety of careers such as research scientists, astrophysicists, material scientists, radar project managers, gravity researchers, and many types of engineers.

Transferability

Completion of this program guarantees completion of the Ohio Transfer Module (OTM). OTM courses are guaranteed to transfer to any public institution in Ohio on a course-by-course basis or in total. Formal articulation agreements with other colleges and universities indicate how Sinclair programs and courses will transfer to other institutions.
