Show Arts, Letters and Science Arts, Letters and Science Department of Physics J. R. Galli, Chairman Professors: R. A. Clarke, H. Paul Huish; Associate Professors, Gilbert C. Barton, Robert L. Capener, W. Lee Dickson, J. R. Galli, Richard G. Hills, Daryl L. Letham; Assistant Professor, David A. Tripp. The Department of Physics offers courses in the following categories: 1. General education courses for the non-science majors. 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 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. 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: Bachelor of Arts Degree in Physics: Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, Q6, 101, 102, 111, 112, 121 or 122, 151, 152, 154, 155, 161, 162, 164, 165. Mathematics 51, 52, 53, 54, 121 or 141 and one of the following: Mathematics 122 or 141, 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 6 additional hours must be selected from the following: Physics 113, 121 or 122, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 143, 145, 153, 156, 163, 166, 181, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195; Mathematics 122, 123, 127, 128, 131, 132, 135, 142, 161, 162, 163; Chemistry 141, 142. In addition, Engineering 41 (Slide Rule) is recommended. Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics: Students desiring a Bachelor of Science degree may elect in place of foreign language additional approved courses in physics and mathematics. The sample curriculum listed below is designed for a Bachelor of Science departmental major. Students planning to continue into graduate study should select as much language as possible. Bachelor of Science 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 21, 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—A total of 42 credit hours (including 20 hours of upper division). Courses: Physics 5 or 14, 61 through 66, 101 and 102, and sufficient additional approved electives in mathematics and physics to meet the minimum credit hour requirements. Physics Teaching Minor—A total of 20 credit hours— Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 plus 5 additional approved hours in mathematics or physics. Composite Major in Physical Sciences—See Mathematics and Physical Science Composite Teaching Major, School of Education. 172 173 |
