Show Arts, Letters and Science 2. Lower division courses as required by students majoring in physics, chemistry, engineering, geology, mineral industries, meteorology, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, architecture, agriculture, and education. 3. Upper division courses leading to a bachelor's degree in physics, a departmental minor in physics, and as required for the teaching major and minor in physics. 4. A bachelor's degree in applied physics (engineering physics) is now offered in conjunction with engineering. This program provides a thorough background in basic physics but allows the substitution of some engineering courses for courses in some specialized fields of physics. The curriculum is designed to give the applied physics graduate a theoretical competence needed for all scientific analysis and an applied background, valuable in fields of physics and engineering concerned with experimental research and development. Graduates would also be prepared to do graduate work in many areas of physics and engineering. 5. The Engineering Program offers the first two years of the professional engineering curricula for civil, electrical, mechanical, aeronautical, mining, metallurgical, and geological engineering. These two-year curricula are designed to prepare the engineering student so that he can transfer to the junior year of engineering at the senior colleges of engineering in the State of Utah and also to many other professional engineering colleges and universities. PHYSICS Physics Departmental Major—In addition to the general requirements for graduation from Weber State College the following courses, passed with a grade of "C" or better, are required for the departmental major: B.A. Degree in Physics: Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 111, 112, 121 or 122, 151, 152, 154, 155, 161, 162, 164, 165. Mathematics 51, 52, 53, 54, 117, 141 and one of the following: Mathematics 118, 127 or 131. Chemistry 24, 25, and German 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or other language acceptable for a Bachelor of Arts degree, such as Russian or French. Not less than 12 additional hours must be selected from the following: Physics 121 or 122, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 141, 145, 163, 181, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195; Mathe- 170 Arts, Letters and Science matics 118, 119, 127, 128, 131, 32, 135, 142, 161, 162, 165; Chemistry 141,142. In addition, Engineering 41 (Slide Rule) is recommended. B.S. Degree in Physics: Students desiring a B.S. degree may elect in place of foreign language additional approved courses in physics and mathematics. The sample curriculum listed below is designed for a B.S. departmental major. Students planning to continue into graduate study should select as much language as possible. B.S. Degree in Applied Physics (Engineering Physics): Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 111, 112, 151, 152, 154, 155, 161 or 167, 162 or 168. Physics 131, 132, 134, 135 or Engineering 124, 125. Engineering 25, 26, 45, 111, 112. Engineering 131, 132, 133, or Mathematics 141, 142, 161. Mathematics 51, 52, 53, 54 and Chemistry 24, 25. An additional 9 hours must be selected from approved upper division courses in physics, engineering, chemistry and mathematics. Physics Departmental Minor—Normally nine to fifteen hours in approved upper division physics will be acceptable for the minor requirement. However prior departmental approval of the candidate's program is required. Written approval by the department chairman should be obtained before the junior year. Physics Teaching Major—Lower Division courses: Same as for the departmental major with a B.S. degree. Upper division courses: 27 to 40 credit hours in upper divi- upper division courses including Physics 101 or 111, and 167. and Mathematics 117, 141, 161. Physics Teaching Minor—Lower Division courses: Same as for the departmental major with a B.S. degree. Upper division courses: 9 to 12 credit hours of approved upper division courses including Physics 101 or 111, and 167. Written departmental approval of candidate's program should be obtained before the junior year.
