3c-3l-4sh Circuit theory, transients, transistor circuits, frequency response, input and output impedance, feedback and electronic noise. Operational amplifiers and digital electronics.
var-1-3sh Special topics are offered on an experimental or temporary basis to explore topics that are not included in the established curriculum. A given topic may be offered under any special topic identity no more than three times. Special topics numbered 281 are offered primarily for lower-level undergraduate students.
var-1-3sh education coordinator This program blends classroom theory with practical application through job-related experience. Students will work in positions offered by the participating industrial or federal/state work-study program employers under joint supervision of the Physics faculty and the on-site supervisor. A co-op student must be a full-time university student in good academic standing and be planning to return to campus for completion of his/her degree program. Evaluation requirements may include on-site visitations by the faculty/coordinator, consultation with the on-site supervisor, and a major progress report by the student or the presentation of a detailed oral report before the departmental cooperative education committee.
2c-0l-2sh Electrostatic potential theory, dielectrics, dipole theory, magnetostatics, Maxwell equations for static fields, and Legendre’s polynomials and other approximation methods.
2c-0l-2sh Time-dependent form of Maxwell equations, electromagnetic induction, vector potential, magnetism, radiation fields, and Poynting vector.
Controlled electives: One package, depending on program Chemical Engineering:
3c-0l-3sh Thermometry, laws of thermodynamics, low-temperature physics, entropy, properties of ideal gas, and an introduction to statistical mechanics.
Controlled electives: Physics electives 2sh Other Requirements: 8 Additional Math courses:
0c-6l-3sh Increasingly sophisticated experiments in essential areas of physics. Digital computers and the Van de Graaff are available.
0c-6l-3sh In this laboratory the student is introduced to much of the fundamental equipment used in industry. The student is trained in the operation and proper use of this equipment through a series of experiments that teach him/her signal detection and analysis including data acquisition by computer. The student will receive instruction on the proper methods to be used for various oral and written presentations.
0c-6l-3sh In this laboratory the student will encounter a number of areas of current interest in semiconductor technology. The student will perform experiments and learn skills in such areas as device process simulation, device simulation, measurements of semiconductor materials, and measurement of device parameters. The student will also be instructed in the proper presentation of written and oral reports.
