我们描述了物理学学士学位课程最后两年的新课程。大三的案例研究提供了具体的例子或范式作为支柱，以支持大四系统的顶点讲座。在九个为期三周的范式中，学生从描述性的低级理解发展到对由现象而不是学科定义的主题的高级分析。学生们普遍赞成这种新形式。他们更擅长可视化，并在物理学科之间建立重要的联系。目前正在进行独立评估。
We describe a new curriculum for the final two years of a B.S. program in Physics. Case studies in the junior year provide concrete examples or Paradigms as pillars to support systematic Capstone lectures in the senior year. In each of nine three-week Paradigms, the junior progresses from a descriptive lower-division understanding to an advanced analysis of a topic defined by phenomenon rather than discipline. Students generally view the new format with favor. They are better at visualization and make important connections among physics disciplines. Independent assessment is ongoing.
