Physics Materials Science - Clarkson University

Physics Materials Science from Clarkson University is a Campus Bachelor Materials Science degree that prepares you for a Science career. Physics helps us understand nature, and explains important discoveries being made about the universe. It is the most fundamental of the sciences and deals with the behavior and interaction of matter, energy, space and time. At Clarkson, you will benefit from the personal attention that has become our hallmark. Our faculty will work to prepare you for a world economy that demands expertise in technology, creativity in analyzing problems, and an understanding of diverse perspectives. We take a project-based approach to learning. Our focus on creative application of knowledge and skills to solve practical, real-world problems. In addition to the core physics program, tailored specifically for students planning for graduate studies and other professional opportunities in physics, Clarkson offer option: Materials Science ? Students who wish to specialize in the study of materials with technological applications. Clarkson is among the smallest schools in the country ranked as competing as a "national university" by U.S. News & World Report. This means you have the benefit of knowing your professors personally, along with access to top research facilities. The focal point of the physics laboratory complex is our Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP), with 70 state-of-the-art research labs. You will also have plenty of opportunity to use the Clarkson Observatory, a premier astronomy lab run by the Clarkson Physics Club. In your first year, our Physics Team Design laboratory option offers an alternative approach to conventional experiments. As a participant, you investigate and explore the theoretical and experimental sides of a given problem such as predicting the motion of a matchbox car or an electric train. You learn valuable skills such as computerized data acquisition for experimentation and methods for developing a mathematical model to describe a physical situation. You also gain valuable experience working in groups toward a common goal. View more details on Clarkson University .
