- Senior Project in Physics

Catalog description

An opportunity for seniors to pursue projects in physics under the supervision of a member of the department. Projects may include literature review of an advanced physics topic, design and construction of an apparatus, or improvement of an existing experiment. Each student will develop a project proposal that addresses the themes of the Senior Experience Coda in collaboration with a faculty mentor; this proposal must be approved by the Physics Department prior to enrolling in the course. This course differs from PY 371 in that it must address the themes of the Senior Experience Coda, and it differs from PY 373 in that it is not focused on the production of new knowledge through original research.
