Show DIVISION OF MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES H. Paul Huish, Acting Chairman To preserve and strengthen the democracy in which we live it is necessary to prepare trained personnel in science, engineering, and technical fields. It is imperative that the scientist, the engineer, and the technician receive not only a thorough technical training, but also a well-rounded understanding of the environmnt in which they live with special emphasis upon professional ethics, straight thinking, intellectual honesty, and moral integrity. The shortage of trained personnel, particularly in the various branches of engineering, sciences, and technical fields, presents an opportunity for anyone who has the ability to acquire this training. The Division offers Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree programs in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics; and secondary teaching majors in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Composite Physical Science. The Division offers minors in Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, and Physics. It includes the Departments of Chemistry, Engineering, Geology and Geography, General Education for the Physical Sciences, Mathematics, Photography, Physics, Pre-Architecture, Architectural Technology. Work is provided for non-science majors who desire to round out their educations and to meet group requirements with courses in physical science and mathematics, or for those who desire to complete their formal education and enter employment in technical and sub-professional fields at the end of two years and who need special two-year programs and curriculums in architectural technology and general engineering technology. The baccalaureate programs provide for those students who may wish to pursue graduate work in their respective fields at graduate colleges or universities. The Division offers the first two years of the regular four- year degree programs in Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and in the various engineering programs. Provision is made for the student who enters fully matriculated for engineering to complete his engineering program in four years; two years at Weber College and the remaining two years at a four- year engineering college or university. The student who has entrance deficiencies, or who needs to work to help finance his schooling usually finds it necessary to take additional time to meet graduation requirements. A student majoring in the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences is urged to take an interest inventory and the |
