Objectives


The Department creates innovative learning environments in which students are educated to the full extent of their abilities. Our programs seeks to produce highly skilled and knowledgeable scientists educated in a forefront research environment. In addition we provide the education needed by diverse student populations, including formal grounding in physics for technical disciplines and a general appreciation and understanding of our physical universe for non-specialists. At all times we convey the excitement of discovery and its relevance to our everyday life and our understanding of the universe.

The Department of Applied Physics will engage diverse populations of learners by developing innovative educational initiatives and services, and will actively engage our alumni and friends in mutually beneficial relationships in support of departmental activities.

The following is a list of our main objectives:

  • Provide excellent courses, innovative curricula and learning environments.
  • Create a group of graduate teaching assistants recognized for excellence in physics teaching and computer skills.
  • Excellence in teaching physics service courses.
  • Increase the human and intellectual diversity of the Department.
  • To become one of the top physics departments in the country.
  • Provide state-of-the-art resources for research.
  • Provide opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students to become involved in research as early as possible.
  • To provide professional support for high school physics teachers throughout the country.
  • Take an active role in the School's program to promote scientific literacy among the general population.
  • To encourage faculty, students and staff to share their knowledge, expertise, and enthusiasm for physics with the local and national communities.
