Physics Physics Paul J. Nienaber, SJ, Ph.D., Chair Physics is the study of the structure of the material universe, the particles that comprise it, and the forces by means of which these particles interact. The mission of the physics department is to help students understand that structure and those particles and forces, and appreciate and apply these fundamental principles. Consistent with the mission of Saint Mary’s University, the physics department seeks to develop the professional competencies of its graduates and to instill in them a habit of lifelong learning. General Department Goals To this end, the physics department presents to students a broad survey of the interconnected concepts of classical and twentieth-century physics, and develop in students an array of problem-solving skills appropriate to and involving those concepts. All students in physics classes should gain an appreciation of science as a human and creative endeavor, acquire and be able to apply skills of quantitative reasoning, and understand science’s distinctive disciplinary methodology, with its emphasis on experimentation and open communication. Science majors in physics courses should in addition master foundational physics principles and analytical methods, learn experimental techniques to test physical models, and be able to apply these principles, methods, and techniques to their own professions. Physics majors should add to these goals an introduction to the abstract models and advanced experimental techniques used in the study of physics as a profession, to provide groundwork for their future study or careers. Through knowledge of these concepts and acquisition of these skills, students then are able to: • Live, continue learning, and pursue careers as scientifically literate and technologically competent adults; • Demonstrate and profit from their expertise in the techniques of modern experimental physics and electronics; • Appropriately and advantageously employ computer technology both for data acquisition and processing, and algorithm development and execution; and • Communicate their knowledge and skills effectively and cogently in a variety of modalities (oral, written, and graphical). The physics curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to teach, do research, undertake graduate study, or to enter engineering professions or such interdisciplinary fields as biophysics, astrophysics, medical physics, health physics, etc. The physics department endeavors to help students see the impact of scientific thought, methods, and discoveries on contemporary society. Through class and laboratory work, students develop the ability to interpret phenomena in light of existing theories. A strong emphasis is placed upon laboratory experience in order to bring students to a level where they can work independently, and where they have developed initiative and reliability in their work. The Saint Mary’s chapter of the national physics honor fraternity Sigma Pi Sigma was founded in 1964; it is the second-oldest chapter of this prestigious society in the state of Minnesota. Majors Offered: Physics Physics with an Engineering Science Emphasis Physics with a Life Science Emphasis Physics Science Education 167 167
Physics Minor Offered: Physics The physics department also supports and staffs the scientific computing minor. Physics Core: A. All of the following courses (Either M148 & M149 or M151): C131 General Chemistry I C133 General Chemistry I Laboratory C142 General Chemistry II C144 General Chemistry II Laboratory M148 Precalculus w/ Calculus I M149 Precalculus w/ Calculus II M151 Calculus I M152 Calculus II M251 Calculus III P201 Introductory Physics I P202 Introductory Physics I Laboratory P211 Introductory Physics II P212 Introductory Physics II Laboratory P304 Introduction to Modern Physics Physics Major (58 credits): This program is intended for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in physics, astronomy, or a related field; or for those who desire a liberal-arts approach to a technical field for future work in law, medicine, or secondary education. A. Physics Core B. All of the following: C331 Physical Chemistry I with Laboratory M252 Linear Algebra P314 Digital Systems with Laboratory P340 Classical Mechanics P344 Mathematical Methods for Science P360 Electricity & Magnetism I P380 Quantum Mechanics I P410 Physics Directed Research Physics with an Engineering Science Emphasis Major (53-54 credits): This program is particularly suited to a student who comes to Saint Mary’s for a “pre-engineering” program, with the intention of transferring to an engineering school after the first two years. If a student decides to stay at SMU to complete the bachelor’s degree, this would be a logical major as it could transfer into a master’s degree program in electrical or computer engineering. A.
