PHYS 499 Q Applied Physics Capstone - 3 credits

Prerequisite(s): Senior standing or permission of the instructor
This course is a capstone experience for applied physics majors and serves to integrate the knowledge and skills that students have developed over a college career. Specifically, students will demonstrate throughout the course the ability to apply the principles, concepts, and processes of physics; communicate and synthesize scientific knowledge; identify and use appropriate tools to solve problems; and develop, test, analyze, and interpret models of physical systems. To accomplish this, each student will complete and report on an independent research project and solve a series of open-ended problems in the context of applied physics.
Semester(s) Offered: Fall, Spring
