  • PHY 245W: The Adv Nuclear Sci Edu Lab

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    The students enrolled in ANSEL will develop a sophisticated understanding of our terrestrial radiation environment and of some of the important applications of nuclear science and technology. They will acquire practical skills in the routine use of radiation detectors, monitors, and electronics, and develop the ability to assess radiation threats and prospects of their abatement. The four in-depth ANSEL experiments are designed to help recreate a type of well-rounded, competent experimental nuclear scientist who is able to analyze an experimental problem, to select, design, and set up appropriate nuclear instrumentation, and to conduct required measurements. The laboratory sessions will meet twice a week for 2 hours and 40 minutes. The students are expected to write detailed lab reports on their work, and give a presentation on of their experiments at the end of the semester. In addition to the laboratory component of ANSEL students will attend a weekly lecture (1 hour and 15 minutes per week).

  • PHY 252: Biomedical Ultrasound

    4.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    The course presents the physical basis for the use of high-frequency sound in medicine. Topics include acoustic properties of tissue, sound propagation (both linear and nonlinear) in tissues, interaction of ultrasound with gas bodies (acoustic cavitation and contrast agents), thermal and non-thermal biological effects of utrasound, ultrasonography, dosimetry, hyperthermia and lithotripsy. This course is the graduate complement to BME251.

  • PHY 387: Teach Intern Ii Group Leader

    2.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    This course is designed as the second follow-up course for an experienced Workshop Leader, Laboratory or Recitation Teaching Intern who plans to use this experience to fulfill part of the requirements for the Citation for achievement in College Leadership. The TI is expected to attend the weekly Leader Training meeting which offers specialized support and feedback, as well as training/seminars to develop leadership skills, foster ongoing communication among faculty members and TIs, and to provide an environment for review of study group related issues. Students spend the semester teaching one workshop, lab or recitation section during the Spring semester intro physics courses: PHY 114, PHY 121, PHY 123, PHY143 and AST 142. Additional requirements are: Weekly content meetings with supervising professor, giving feedback to other leaders in a constructive evaluation process and a project designed in concert with the supervising professor and the PHY 387 instructor. (similar to CAS 355). Students

    0.00 Credits
    University of Rochester

    This course is designed for an experienced undergraduate planning to be a Workshop Leader, Laboratory or Recitation Teaching Intern (TI), and who is planning to use this experience to fulfill part of the requirements for the Citation for achievement in College Leadership. The TI is expected to attend the weekly Leader Training meetings supporting PHY 386-387. In recognition of their experience, the TI will take on some mentoring and course organizational tasks. Students spend the semester teaching one workshop, laboratory or recitation section during the Fall/Spring semester introductory physics courses: PHY113, PHY114, PHY121, PHY122, PHY123, PHY141, PHY142, PHY143, AST111 & AST142. Additional requirements are: Weekly content meetings with supervising professor and giving feedback to other leaders in a constructive evaluation process. An additional project is required which may or may not coincide with the mentoring and course organizational tasks mentioned above. This course may be taken more than once.
