3.00 Credits
This interdisciplinary course provides concrete skills for productive entry-level scientific research. Students engage in a hands-on introduction to scientific research and methods, including an introduction to sample handling, data analysis, and dissemination of results through papers and presentations. Upon completion of the course, a student will be prepared for potential internships, summer research programs, and research assistantships both on and off campus. Cross-listed with CHEM 2820 and GEO 2820.
Prerequisite:
CHEM 1210 and ENGL 2010 and GEO 1110 and GEO 1115 and MATH 1060 and MATH 1080 and MATH 1210 and PHYS 2010 and PHYS 2210
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Time and credit to be arranged. Intended for students working on a directed reading project which includes physics/astronomy at the lower division level for one or more semesters.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Open to all students in the Physics Department who meet the minimum Cooperative Work Experience requirements of the department. Provides academic credit for on-the-job experience. Grade and amount of credit will be determined by the department.

3.00 Credits
This course extends the computational skills developed in PHYS 2300 to address a wider range of problems in modern physics. Students will explore the limits of computational methods and develop techniques suited to high-performance computing. Applications may be chosen from nonlinear dynamics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, and quantum mechanics.
Prerequisite:
PHYS 2220 and PHYS 2300
-
4.00 Credits
