Targeted Infusion Project: Development of an Engineering Physics Program Concentration at NCCU

该项目名为“北卡罗来纳理工大学工程物理专业发展”，旨在设计新的课程和实验室，将工程原理和设计融入课程，特别强调解决问题和发展沟通技巧。该课程的学生将在实验室方法、数据分析和计算方法方面获得丰富的经验。毕业生将有能力从事跨工程和科学学科的新兴技术行业的研究和开发工作，或者攻读科学或工程专业的研究生课程。工程物理课程旨在招收物理专业的学生。计划的活动是将以物理为基础的实验课程扩展到工程物理课程；将工程物理纳入物理系课程目录的相关课程；开发新的基于主题的工程物理课程和实验室；与北卡罗来纳州农业和技术州立大学建立3 + 2项目；开发工程物理课程；并招收工程物理专业的学生。拟议的活动集中在一个非裔美国学生占本科生总数三分之二的部门。项目活动的结果将通过在专业物理教育者会议上的报告向更广泛的物理界传播。

The Targeted Infusion Project entitled - Development of an Engineering Physics Program Concentration at NCCU - has the goal to design new courses and laboratories that infuse engineering principles and design into the curriculum with special emphasis on problem solving and developing communication skills. Students in the program will gain substantial experience with laboratory methods, data analysis, and computational methods. Graduates will be well equipped to pursue research and development careers in new and emerging technologies in industry that cut across engineering and science disciplines or to pursue graduate studies in science or engineering. The engineering physics curriculum is intended to recruit students to the physics program.The planned activities are to extend physics-based laboratory courses to the engineering physics curriculum; infuse engineering physics into relevant courses in the Physics Department course inventory; develop new theme-based engineering physics courses and laboratories; establish a 3-plus-2 program with North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University; develop the engineering physics curriculum; and recruit Engineering Physics majors. The proposed activities are centered in a department where African American students compose about 2/3 of the undergraduate population. The results of the project activities will be disseminated to the broader Physics community through presentations at meetings of professional Physics educators.
