Barton, Robert L. Capener, Robert A. Clarke, J. Ronald Galli; Associate Professors, Richard G. Hills, Daryl L. Letham, David A. Tripp, Jay W. Phippen. Description: Physicists study the basic laws of nature. These include the laws of electricity, magnetism, optics, sound, heat, mechanics, and modern physics. Physicists seek to uncover the mysteries of the planets, the sun, the weather, the atom, solids and liquids, and even such things as mysteries of the body and of the human brain. Other sciences like chemistry and biology build on the laws of physics and rely on many instruments originally devised by physicists. Engineers use physics to build bridges, airplanes, television transmitters and receivers, satellites, and deep space probes. The physicist seeks to understand the behavior of matter and energy at the most general fundamental level. Thus, physics plays a basic and essential role in our economy and our culture. Education: Physics majors who want careers in research are invited to pursue an intensive pre-doctoral and doctoral program. Those who will seek employment with a bachelor's degree in physics, or who wish to take advanced training in other fields, should investigate the liberal program in physics. A joint major is also possible such as mathematics and physics. Some of the courses required for the Physics majors are only offered on alternate years. The student must, therefore, be careful to plan his schedule so that he can take these when they are offered. Department faculty are all available to assist in this planning. 191 |
