Double Major Program

Physics Department views its own program as a well suiting opportunity for the students from other departments who are willing to pursue training in a second major program. Physics has become closely associated one side with technology, on the other side with social sciences which will derive insight from fundamental developments in physics.

The program consists of all courses in the undergraduate curriculum. The equivalency of the courses will be determined by the Department.

Minor Programs

Minor Program in Physics

The aim of the program is to enable the undergraduate students of the other departments to follow the new developments in fundamental sciences and technology. At the same time, to help the students from other disciplines who would like to do graduate study in physics by establishing minimum background knowledge in Physics.

1. PHYS 202 (4-0)4 / 8.0 Modern Physics
  -or-
  PHYS 207 (3-0)3 / 5.0 Concepts of Modern Physics
2. PHYS 210 (4-0)4 / 8.0 Mathematical Methods in Physics II
3. PHYS 300 (3-0)3 / 7.0 Quantum Physics
4. PHYS 331 (4-0)4 / 8.0 Electromagnetic Theory - I
5. PHYS 335 (4-0)4 / 8.0 Classical Mechanics - I
6. PHYS ELECTIVE
7. PHYS ELECTIVE

The students enroled in this minor program are also required to take the prerequisites of the above courses. Additionally, the students of the minor program taking PHYS 207 are also expected to take the prerequsite courses (or equivalents) of PHYS 202.

Minor Program in Solid State Physics

To motivate the undergraduate Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Metallurgical and Materials Engineering students to do interdisciplinary projects, and research by gaining knowledge and practice in solid state physics and microelectronics, and at the same time to enable them to follow he new developments in the fundamentals and technologies of these fields.
