This major is to
provide Bachelor-level education for students with diverse background, to equip
them with knowledge and skills related to Physics (such as computational
physics, biomedical physics,? financial
physics, environmental physics, optics, materials technology), thus enabling
them to pursue a diversified career path in medicine and health care, education,
engineering, commercial and industrial sectors, or postgraduate study. The
GREAT + stream is designed for students who have a good and solid
foundation in Physics. It aims to produce graduates interested in pursuing a
career in scientific research or starting business ventures that involve the
use of new scientific discoveries and innovative technologies. On completion of
the major, graduates will be able to integrate knowledge learned in the major
to support in at least an original discovery or creative design relevant to
applied physics. |
Upon successful completion of the applied physics major, students should be able to:
-
Apply knowledge of mathematics, physics, and engineering appropriate to the degree in Physics (with the focus on one or more of the areas in applied physics: environmental physics, optics, materials technology, and biomedical physics). This includes: (a) to design a component, a process or a system to meet desired needs within realistic constraints. (b) to identify, formulate, and solve physics and engineering problems.
-
Design and conduct experiments, as well as analyze, interpret and present results.
-
Use the techniques, skills, and modern Physics and engineering tools including computer/IT tools necessary for practices appropriate to the degree in Physics along with an understanding of their processes and limitations.
-
Appreciate the impact of Physics and engineering applications in a global and societal context, especially the importance of health, safety and environmental considerations to both workers and the general public.
-
Appreciate professional and ethical responsibility.
-
Appreciate basic laws and principles of physics and to use this knowledge to explain everyday life examples and phenomena, to explain science to people not in the science and engineering discipline, and to educate the public in physics.
-
Work in a multidisciplinary team.
-
Communicate effectively.
-
Recognize the need for, and to engage in life-long learning, including the ability to stay abreast of contemporary issues.
-
Create an original discovery or design that are motivated from the major of study.Identify
application values in research ideas and creative designs/ innovations
motivated from physics. Transform the ideas/designs into practical research/business
proposals or draft patent application for products. |
