| Abstract: Education is to change stress on in school, from collecting information to developing competences. The weights of total time devoted to direct contact student–teacher and to school work has been being continuously reduced. Many sciences and other knowledge fields are in fast progress. Consequently, "Physics" is reducing its weight in general education and the trend is Physics be taught during general compulsory education, not as a particular science, but as a part of "Science". What would be the contribution of "Physics" to "Science"? The authors suggest introducing into the "Science" synopsis, a chapter on "Dimensional Analysis" (D. A.). D. A. is easy to be taught, understood and applied, allows and stimulates creative approach, may be largely used almost everywhere and may be introduced into the curriculum of any undergraduate Science program. In the following, there are exposed basics of D. A., how to find dimensional equations, examples of their applications in different fields and limits of D. A. D. A. may become one of the major contributions of Physics to educate people for fast acquiring general and valuable competences in different fields. |
