本科课程
We provide our physics undergraduates with a rigorous core program and opportunities for cutting edge research. A physics degree from 电子游戏软件 opens doors to employment at global tech and consulting companies.
Our department has recently undergone a dramatic expansion, including the hiring of several new faculty members and development of world-class research programs, which has propelled us into the forefront of research into complex materials. The department strongly encourages undergraduates to become involved in faculty research—there is no better way to learn physics than by doing physics!
我们是一个相对小而紧密的部门, with a ratio of undergraduate majors to faculty of about 4:1. Students are welcomed in a friendly environment in which they can easily interact with faculty for help with their coursework, 建议, 或者只是一次非正式的聊天.
有了物理学位你能做什么?
作为一名物理专业的学生,你将:
- Study laws of classical and quantum physics and their applications.
- Develop mathematical and computational skills for solving quantitative problems.
- Learn how to obtain, organize, analyze, and interpret scientific data.
除了物理学的学术生涯之外, 工程, 或相关领域, a physics degree leads to a wide range of professional opportunities. Physicists are highly valued and sought for numerous industrial and governmental positions, 包括在以下领域:
- 气候变化与可持续发展
- 卫生与医药
- 航空航天与国防
- 仪器仪表与制造
- 材料科学与纳米技术
- 计算机科学与量子信息
- 财务及系统管理
物理专业学生的学习成果
The 物理系 curriculum is designed to help our students achieve the following learning outcomes upon graduation:
- demonstrate a broad understanding of classical and quantum physical principles;
- understand and articulate current prominent research questions in physics;
- structure and implement independent inquiry on substantive questions in physics;
- communicate research results in a scientifically appropriate manner;
- demonstrate a level of knowledge and research skills level sufficient to compete successfully for admission to graduate programs.
The department will assess our majors’ learning outcomes, 适当地修改课程, on a yearly basis in order to help students better achieve these goals.
学习成果 for Students Taking 物理 Core 课程
Students completing a Natural Science Core course in the 物理 Department will have:
- 扩展了他们对原理的理解, 知识体系, and investigative strategies that comprise physics and its technological applications;
- developed a scientific literacy that will promote curiosity, 尊重科学的方法, and general awareness of the limitations of scientific conclusions;
- 认识到科学发现的作用, 过去的, 现在, 和未来的, 在人类健康等相互关联的问题上, 社会福利, and planetary sustainability; and
- appreciated the role of physics in defining their relationship with the natural world and their position within the cosmos.
