DeGoede (Chair), Fullerton, Gravé, McBride, Scanlin, Stuckey, Watson, Wunderlich
Programs in the Department of Physics and Engineering are designed to convey an appreciation and understanding of physical and natural systems and to prepare students for professional careers in science and technical fields. In accord with the philosophy that both majors and nonmajors should be broadly exposed to studies of natural phenomena, the Department offers a variety of formal courses and informal learning experiences, all intended to cultivate an ability for continuing self-education. Analysis, problem solving and hands-on experience are emphasized at all instructional levels.
Students majoring in one of the programs offered by the Department commonly go on to graduate school or to careers in physics, engineering or education.
The Department of Physics
and Engineering offers majors in Engineering,
Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering Management, Physics and Secondary Education in Physics (Physics Education). The Department
also has a cooperative 3+2 Engineering Program in which
students study for three years at Elizabethtown College and then complete two
additional years, normally at the College of Engineering at The Pennsylvania
State University. In addition, the Department participates in the General
Science Education program, described in the Interdisciplinary Programs chapter
of this Catalog.
