Supervised Research

Catalog description

At the discretion of the department, majors or prospective majors may supplement their work in physics with research in one of the faculty research groups. Students can enroll in either a half-unit or a full unit course which corresponds to about six or twelve hours per week of research engagement respectively. Students provide a written paper synopsis of work completed and give an oral presentation (for full unit only) at the end of the semester during the physics department research talks symposium. Students completing a senior thesis must enroll in B403. Students are encouraged to contact individual faculty members and the departmental website for further information.
