Learning outcomes:
Acquisition of fundamental, theoretical, and practical knowledge of Physics, namely Electromagnetism and Modern Physics, for understanding physical phenomena inherent to Engineering. Familiarization with the microscopic world's dual (wave-particle) nature through various topics in modern physics.

At the end of the Course Unit, the student should be able to analyze, understand, and mathematically describe some basic phenomena of Electromagnetism and Modern Physics. Consequently, they will be able to apply its basic principles in describing and discussing a physical experiment relevant to Engineering.
