Science & Mathematics / 111 MATH-333 MATH-426 Engineering Statistics III Mathematical Statistics I Elective Courses Two elective courses must be selected from the following list IME-422 Systems Modeling II IME-471 Quality Systems I IME-572 Quality Systems II MATH-427 Mathematical Statistics II MATH-428 Sampling Theory MGMT-460 Management Science II APPLIED PHYSICS Bahram Roughani, Ph.D., Program Director Room 2-129 AB, 810-762-7499 broughan@kettering.edu APPLIED PHYSICS OVERVIEW Physics is the most fundamental science and underlies the understanding of nearly all areas of science and technology. Physics is concerned with the study of energy, space, matter, the interaction between material objects and the laws that govern these interactions at various scales from sub nano-scale to light-years scale. Physicists study mechanics, sound, heat, light, electric and magnetic fields, gravitation, relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, solid state physics wave-like properties of particles and particle-like properties of radiation.. Applied physics is not a branch of physics but is the application of all the branches of physics to the broad realm of practical problems in engineering, science, and industry. Applied physics is the interface between science and technology, between the pure and the applied, between the theory, laboratory, and practice. The degree in Applied Physics provides excellent preparation for work in industry or in government agencies. The program also serves as a solid foundation for students desiring to go on to graduate school in physics or any number of fields in pure or applied science or engineering. The curriculum in Applied Physics provides a solid basic education in physics with a background in engineering science and design based on emphasis on three areas of Applied Optics, Acoustics and Materials Science. • The Applied Physics program includes a thorough background in mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, social sciences, humanities, and communication. • Applied Physics students at Kettering take the same core physics courses in mechanics and electricity and magnetism as physics students at other universities. Applied Physics students are required to take basic courses in optics, acoustics, and materials. • Applied Physics students have the opportunity to earn a concentration in the field of optics, acoustics, or materials science. For more information about the Applied Physics program, including pictures and descriptions of our laboratory facilities and minors, please visit our Web site: http://www.kettering.edu/acad/scimath/physics/ or send an email to apchair@kettering.edu.
