COURSE OVERVIEW (Ref: Syllabus Publication)

“Science plays a major role in the evolution of knowledge. It empowers us to use creative and independent approaches to problem-solving. It arouses our natural curiosity and enables us to meet diverse and ever expanding challenges. It enhances our ability to inquire, seek answers, research, and interpret data. These skills which lead to the construction of hypotheses, theories and laws that help us to explain natural phenomena and exercise control over our environment. Science is, thus, an integral component of a balanced education.

Physics is generally regarded as the most fundamental scientific discipline and forms the basis of many other sciences including Chemistry and Seismology, and can be applied to Biology and Medicine. The study of Physics is necessary to explain our physical environment. In fact, this is the role of the laws and theories of Physics that influence every aspect of our physical existence.

In particular, whatever conveniences and luxuries we enjoy as citizens of Caribbean nations can either directly or indirectly be traced to these fundamental physical laws, theories, and new technologies. 

Physics plays a role in providing the tools for the sustainable development locally and globally, in particular, the development of environmentally friendly forms of power generation, monitoring, and modeling of our environment.”
