物理学问"为什么"?” Applied physics asks “how?” Physicists wonder why apples fall from trees, why planets circle suns and why light behaves like both a wave and a particle. 在应用物理学中, you can stand on the shoulders of physicists and learn how to apply the laws of the universe to drive innovation, 探索与发明.
威尼斯游戏大厅’s applied physics program is career focused, providing a foundation for employment in a wide variety of industries. Applied physicists can devise vehicle guidance systems, invent more efficient energy storage mechanisms, formulate manufacturing processes and create innovative medical diagnostic devices. With our hands-on laboratory focus and broad offering of support classes, you can obtain the skills and experiences that employers seek now and that foster success in graduate studies later.

About the 应用物理 Major
In 威尼斯游戏大厅’s applied physics program, 你将学习力学, 电动力学, thermodynamics and modern physics while learning about the current challenges in applied science and engineering. You’ll acquire problem solving skills in mathematical modeling and programming and the ability to apply those skills in practical applications. You will have the opportunity to explore the interdisciplinary nature of applied science and investigate the connection of physics to mathematics, engineering and the other sciences. Our students gain an appreciation for the historical development of physics and the role of physics in modern technology. Carroll’s applied physics program requires a rigorous course of study in physics and mathematics, as well foundational course work in computer science and chemistry.
Southeastern Wisconsin is the industrial center of the state, and Carroll has developed a strong network of industry relationships in the region. 华克夏市内或附近的, you have the opportunity to supplement your coursework with internships and local summer jobs that provide practical, real-world experiences and career networking opportunities. As part of your undergraduate study, you will also propose and complete a capstone project. The successful completion of your project demonstrates that you can apply the knowledge and skills from your course work to solve problems, which is evidence to prospective employers that you are ready to contribute to their technical endeavors.
物理专业, combined with a secondary education minor, leads to certification by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to teach physics in high school or middle school.
In addition to the major, Carroll offers a minor in physics that complements many areas of study:
