PHY 499Practicum in Physics

Catalog

Supervised field experience that will allow students to observe and document how working professionals perform their job responsibilities. Students will participate to a limited extent in performing tasks under supervision by program professors and on-site staff, and as allowed by experience and the law. Students are assigned (or can find opportunities themselves, if approved) to work in a research or professional setting and receive dual supervision from a physics faculty member and an official from the company or agency to which the student is assigned.
