Visit website for details www.assist.org\n\n**Program Learning Outcome(s):**\nUpon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to:\n\n1.  Investigate and describe specific evidence used to construct individual scientific principles.\n2.  Use scientific principles to explain well-established fundamental biological or physical phenomena and analyze their underlying components.\n3.  Utilize scientific methodologies when solving a problem.\n4.  Demonstrate knowledge of the interplay between the various physical sciences, how they align, and how they differ.\n5.  Demonstrate how the physical sciences differ from the biological and social sciences."
