STEM: Physics Sensors

Westminster’s College of Arts and Sciences Physics program is enhancing its laboratory experience by investing in modern, Bluetooth-enabled force and motion sensors that support today’s student-centered, inquiry-based learning. These tools allow students to measure movement, forces, acceleration, and energy in real time, helping them translate core physics concepts into meaningful, hands-on experiments.

Hands-on discovery is central to physics education at Westminster. Every STEM major who completes physics coursework uses these sensors to explore fundamental principles, analyze data, and build critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These tech upgrades strengthen the learning experience, support instructional innovation, and help prepare Westminster students for advanced study and careers across science, healthcare, engineering, and technology fields.
