Ronald Galli Location: Science Lab, Room 202 Telephone Contact: Maxine Westmorland 626-6163 Professors: J. Ronald Galli, Richard G. Hills, Rondo N. Jejfery; Associate Professors: Farhang Amiri, Bradley W. Carroll, Dale A. Ostlie, Jay W. Phippen, Walther N. Spjeldvik. Descriptions Physics or Applied Physics — Physicists study the basic laws of nature. These include the laws of electricity, magnetism, optics, sound, thermodynamics, mechanics, electromagnetism, solid state, relativity, quantum mechanics, modern physics, and nuclear physics. Those who will seek employment with a bachelors 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. Physics majors who want careers in research are invited to pursue an intensive pre- doctoral and doctoral program. Engineering Physics — This interdisciplinary program requires 198 credit hours for completion and is designed for the professionally-minded student wanting to go into engineering. It is designed to produce an engineer physicist who is able to analyze a problem using the fundamentals of physics, and who is then able to employ the principles of engineering. The student choosing this program must specialize in either the electronics or the computer science specialty as described below. Physics Teaching — The department also offers a program leading to a bachelors degree in Physics Teaching. This program is described below and is coordinated with the Department of Secondary Education.
