About

Overview It is a popular choice for students seeking employment directly after graduation. The concentration is determined after consultation with one’s academic advisor, and appears explicitly on the student’s diploma.Students in the Applied Physics program at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are challenged to study science beginning with the fundamental aspects, proceeding on to subjects with modern applications.Our undergraduate program welcomes first year students to the department in a semester course called “Passion for Physics”. In this course students are introduced to research opportunities by Physics Faculty. In the junior year, our undergraduate program features a culminating experience project, which allows students to gain research experience in an area of interest. These experiences allow students to prepare for careers in academia or industry.OutcomesStudents who successfully complete this program will be able to demonstrate:An ability to evaluate the validity and utility of experimental information using logical, mathematical, and statistical tools.An ability to perform scientific calculations and data analysis using computational and mathematical tools. An ability to communicate technical material effectively using both oral and written presentation.An ability to apply knowledge of electromagnetic theory using vector calculus to analyze and model real situations. An ability to apply mechanics and kinematics including the analysis using differential equations and the Lagrangian formulation to address new problems in science and technology.An ability to apply knowledge of basic phenomenology and concepts of quantum, atomic, nuclear, and particle physics along with ability to solve and analyze solutions to the Schrodinger equation to address new problems in science and technology.
