The purpose of this study is to obtain evaluation, and guidelines for renovations, of undergraduate physics education. The survey has been made on graduates of physics and applied physics related departments of colleges and universities as to their present job function, and the elements in the undergraduate physics education they received which they consider to have been valuable in their career formation. Participated in the survey, carried out in 2003 and 2004, were 45 departments in 39 universities. Questionnaire sheets were sent out to those who obtained bachelors degree from the participating departments 5 years ago and 14〜16 years ago. The response totaled 777.Overall, 70 to 80% of the respondent are in various area of industry, with the largest portion in manufacturing and information-telecommunication industry, and the rest in educational and research institutions. The percentage distribution is common feature among different cross section, irrespective of the school type, the highest degree he/she obtained (e.g., bachelor or master and above), etc.To the question "What are the undergraduate subjects which have been found valuable?", the highest response proportion was on "senior thesis research" (51.5%) and "experiments" (46.6%), while lecture subjects acquired 40% or less.The question "What have been the advantages of majoring physics or applied physics?" had highest responses to "Ability to extract essentials and make models" (49.7%), "Ability of logical thinking and presentations" (48.0%), and "Ability to understand the principles and make use of new technology".

本研究的目的是对本科物理教学进行评价，为本科物理教学改革提供指导。调查了高校物理及应用物理相关专业毕业生目前的工作职能，以及他们所接受的本科物理教育中对其职业形成有价值的要素。参加这项调查的有39所大学的45个系，分别于2003年和2004年进行。对5年前和14~16年前获得本科学历的学生发放调查问卷。共收到777份回复，其中70%至80%的受访者来自不同的行业领域，其中制造业和信息电信业所占比例最大，其余为教育和研究机构。百分比分布是不同横断面的共同特征，不分学校类型、获得的最高学位(例如学士或硕士及以上学历)等。在被发现有哪些本科科目被认为有价值的问题上，回答比例最高的是“高级论文研究”(51.5%)和“实验”(46.6%)，而讲座科目的回答比例不超过40%。问题是“主修物理或应用物理有什么优势？”回答“提炼要点和模型的能力”(49.7%)、“逻辑思维和表达能力”(48.0%)和“理解原理和运用新技术的能力”的比例最高。
