PHYS 4275 - Physics Research Project

UG
Credit Hours: 2

This course is a requirement for the major and serves as the Capstone Experience for the major. Using the project plan developed in PHYS 4175, students will use this semester to carry out the research previously proposed. Students who are following Mechanical Engineering concentration must carry out a project involving design and fabrication of a mechanical device. The project may be performed by an individual or by a team as determined by the proposal. The course consists of weekly meetings to discuss the progress and possible refinement of the project as well as a regular lab schedule during which the work is done. The result of the course will be a written report (suitable for journal submission) and formal presentation to the Society of Physics Students (or at a conference).

Prerequisites: Completion of PHYS 4175 with a feasible project, budget, and research plan.
