Brief:
The department offers a bachelor's program in physics, and focuses on preparing graduates capable of working in school education
locally and regionally or continuing their graduate studies in physics or other related disciplines. Also, the Physics Department
offers service courses for students of scientific colleges, including engineering, information technology, earth sciences, and others.
In addition, the Department of Physics offers a master's program in physics, in both the thesis and comprehensive tracks.
Vision:
Leadership in physics and its applications to serve society.
Mission:
Providing distinguished education and scientific research that serves society and contributes to its development in various educational and other fields,
through modernizing teaching methods, keeping up with relevant global developments on an ongoing basis, paying attention to the quality of education,
appointing teaching staff, competent assistance, and general partnership with related community institutions.
Program Educational Objectives PEO's:
- Demonstrate a solid scientific and technical competence using what students learn in physics and related fields to excel in their careers.
- Exhibit the ability to engage in life-long learning, training, and self-development, assimilating the changes and advances in the profession and pursuing graduate studies.
- Exhibit professional integrity, productive teamwork, effective communication skills, and the capability for ethical decision making.
Student Learning Outcomes for the Bachelor program (B.Sc.) in Physics: (ABET-ORIENTED)
SO1: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve broadly defined technical or scientific problems by applying knowledge of mathematics and science and/or technical topics to areas relevant to the discipline.
SO2: An ability to formulate or design a system, process, procedure or program to meet desired needs.
SO3: An ability to develop and conduct experiments or test hypotheses, analyze and interpret data and use scientific judgment to draw conclusions.
SO4: An ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of audiences.
SO5: An ability to understand ethical and professional responsibilities and the impact of technical and/or scientific solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
SO6: An ability to function effectively in teams that establish goals, plan tasks, meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty.
Student Learning Outcomes for the Master program (M.Sc.) in Physics:
SO1: Demonstrate mastery of the standard curriculum graduate-level physics degree.
SO2: Possess the appropriate theoretical, computational and/or experimental skills to solve problems in their area of specialization.
SO3: Communicate scientific results via writing professional reports and oral presentations in front of audiences.
SO4: Demonstrate critical
thinking skills by conducting research work, writing a thesis or a project
report.
Admission requirements for the department's programs:
Obtaining a high school diploma (Tawjihi) or its equivalent and within the permitted grades for admission to the bachelor's program.
And obtaining a bachelor's degree in physics or a related specialization for admission to the master's program.
Teaching Strategies and Methods:
Students are taught through lectures, discussions and class participation. In addition to directing students to various learning and knowledge
resources from paper and electronic references, including e-learning platforms. Focus is placed on encouraging students to work on systematic
scientific research, and training students in the department's practical scientific laboratories as part of the department's program plan
in order to test the theoretical physical concepts and knowledge they have learned in the theoretical part of the program's courses.
Evaluation methods
The achievement of targeted learning outcomes is demonstrated through the following assessment methods:
1. Continuous evaluation during lectures using real evaluation strategies and tools: performance-based evaluation, observation, communication, self-review,...
2. Preparing a research paper on one of the course topics, provided that it is not translated literally, but rather a documented paper in which the personality traits of its preparer are clear.
3. Apply some formal evaluation tools and write a report on them
4. Developing a measure that addresses one of the developmental aspects
5. Provide a summary and criticism of some recent studies that address the topics of the subject
6. Exams according to instructions
