Briscoe, William

Physics Beyond the Core
The focus of the session is on undergraduate physics that builds on the “core” courses. Many programs have very similar core curricula but few have undergraduate experiences that go beyond core courses. Our contention is that the core program should lead to a capstone project that focuses on student research and for which the core program has prepared the student.		 Type: Workshop or Seminar
Audience: Faculty and PER Community
Duration: 45 minutes
