Computer Physics - Illinois State University

Computer Physics from Illinois State University is a Campus Bachelor Engineering Physics degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. What is Computer Physics? Computer/computational physicists use high-performance computers to explore physical phenomena, from those involving the most fundamental objects such as quarks and black holes to those important in applications like weather prediction, medical technology, and environmental cleanup. This new approach to physics opens avenues to problems whose solution is otherwise impossible. While this new approach to science and engineering is widespread in research and development, it is all but ignored at the undergraduate level at most universities and colleges. The Computer Physics degree at Illinois State University , unique in the Midwest and among only a handful in the world, remedies this deficiency. This program is designed for students seeking either industrial employment or graduate study in computer-oriented science, engineering, and related fields. Majors complete a well-balanced curriculum in theoretical, experimental, and computational physics paralleling the regular physics major through the intermediate level courses and then specializing in computer physics . Overview This is a four year professional physics program with a strong emphasis on computation. It is designed for students seeking graduate study in computer/computational physics and related fields, or industrial employment. Majors complete a well-balanced curriculum concentrating on theoretical, experimental, and computational physics. The program is supported by excellent facilities, including scientific workstation labs and well-equipped experimental laboratories. Opportunities in Computer Physics There are many opportunities to pursue extracurricular work in computer/computational physics while at ISU, including paid programming positions, research assistantships, instructional technology, web page development, and teaching assistantships.
