PHY 485: Senior Physics Project (capstone)
1.00 Credits
Grand Valley State University
An independent investigation of theoretical or experimental physics. The nature and scope of the project are determined by the student in consultation with the instructor. Normally this project is carried out during the entire senior year---one hour credit during the fall semester and two hours credit during the winter semester. A written technical report is required. All seniors meet each week to discuss their projects with each other and their supervisor. Open only to senior physics students in good standing. (1-0-4) Offered fall semester.
