PHYS 185 - Physics InternshipSemester Hours: 1-6
Periodically
Physics majors who have been offered an internship may receive credit through this course if approved in advance by the chairperson of the physics department. The internship must involve significant experiential training for a position in which a college degree would be necessary for full-time employment and in which a major in physics would be considered beneficial. The number of semester hours depends on the type of work and on the number of hours worked and will be determined by the chairperson.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
PHYS 118A , students must be physics majors with an overall GPA of 3.0 or better and physics GPA of 3.0 or better. May be repeated for credit up to 6 s.h. Generally, students can expect to receive 1 s.h. per 28 hours worked. At the end of the semester, students will write and present a paper on the role of physics in the internship position. Students will be expected to keep a journal on their experience and to meet with the faculty mentor assigned to the course a minimum of three times to review the journal and paper preparations. Semester hours earned count toward general degree requirements. A maximum of 1 s.h. may be applied toward the B.A. in physics; a maximum of 2 s.h. may be applied toward the B.S. in physics or the B.S. in applied physics . Final grades will include both on-site and academic work. An on-site evaluation of “poor” will result in a final grade no higher than “C”.
