MEGPW.AS - Mechanical Engineering Pathway Associate in Science

Use correct notation and use appropriate mathematical tools strategically

Clearly communicate mathematical ideas and solutions

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others

Summarize the basic laws of physics (mechanics)

Summarize the basic laws of physics (thermo)

Summarize the basic laws of physics (E&M)

Summarize the basic laws of physics (modern)

Apply the appropriate basic laws of physics to various situations

Devise experiments to test the validity of physical models

Analyze data from experiments to validate or refute physical models

Develop a basic understanding of scientific methods, structure, and culture

Students will name chemical compounds and decipher chemical formulas All chemistry students will differentiate acids, bases, salts, and binary covalent compounds. Organic students, in addition, will differentiate carbon-based functional groups including alcohols, ketones, amines and esters.

Students will correlate the position of an element on the periodic table to the elements properties such as: classification (metal vs. nonmetal), extent of chemical reactivity, number of valence electrons, and range of oxidation numbers

Students will visualize the concept of a mole (602 billion trillion things), and will extract data from the periodic table of elements to convert between moles and grams

Students will differentiate physical from chemical processes, and write chemical reactions and balance chemical equations

Students will choose and apply an appropriate mathematical formula to solve scientific problems in areas such as density, gas laws, molarity, pH and radioactivity

Students will collect experimental data in chemistry lab, and analyze data from laboratory experiments or online homework problems
