The Applied Physics option is geared toward the student who is
interested in the practical application of the types of analytical
thinking and problem solving that make physics unique. One options within
applied physics is to focus on electronics and instrumentation. This
allows students to better understand the ways in which equipment is used
to measure and analyze the world around us.
Notes:
- PHYS 347 is now being offered as a competency based class and the
requirements for this should be started soon after completion of PHYS
247. You should be well on your way to meeting the objectives of this
course by the time you enroll in it in the semester before the one in
which you plan to graduate. Please talk to your advisor about this for
more details.
- Most of the courses listed on the grid above are in the semester in
which they are offered (odd = fall, even = spring). For instance, PHYS
460 is only offered in the spring semester.
- The grid above is only one way in which this program may be
completed and there are other possibilities which include all these same
courses. Talk to you advisor if you have questions.
- PHYS 498 is shown in the fall of year 4, but may be completed in any
semester or over the summer. We recommend that you become involved in
research as early as possible if it interests you.
- PHYS 371/2 is a combination of 2 block courses (PHYS 371 and 372)
which are offered in the first and second halves of fall semester
respectively.
- CHEM 131 and 132 may be taken during the first year if desired but
should not be delayed until after the second year without good reason.
