2.00 Credits
Laboratory work of a research nature done under the direction of a staff member working on a research problem. One problem will extend through the semester, with a comprehensive report required. Six hours are to be spent in the laboratory each week. Arrangements must be made with the department before the beginning of the semester. Credits: 2 hrs Prerequisite: department permission Notes: Open to seniors nearing completion of a physics major.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the opportunity to synthesize knowledge of a wide range of physics and engineering topics into a research or design project, from concept development, through test and analysis, to final report.
