• PHYS 390: Independent Research

  1.00 - 3.00 Credits

  The Citadel

  
  The student, individually or in a small group, pursues research on a topic in Physics. The scope and intent of the research is developed in consultation with a designated faculty advisor. The student must define the problem; study the back- ground readings; secure laboratory space if needed; develop a procedure including any use of equipment and supplies; organize the experimental tasks; work through to a conclusion; and submit a written and oral report. The student must consult with the faculty advisor at least once each week. The student may repeat the course with permission of the Department Head.

• PHYS 393: Flight Simulation

  1.00 Credits

  The Citadel

  
  Fluid dynamics is the study of fluids in motion. The effect of aerodynamic flow on the control and stability of an aircraft will be studied using the physics engines (aerodynamics calculation model) which powers flight simulation software packages such as Flight Simulator or X-Plane. Effects studied in PHYS 241, The Physics of Flight, will be observed using flight simulators.

• PHYS 399: Physics Internship

  3.00 Credits

  The Citadel

  
  The student works individually in either an academic or industrial environment. The scope and intent of the work is developed in consultation with a designated faculty advisor and the Department Head. The student must have an approved mentor at the job site, and must spend at least five hours a week working at the job site or performing equivalent tasks. The student must keep a journal which will be reviewed by the faculty advisor each week. The Mentor will present a progress evaluation each month. The student will present a final written and oral report. The student may repeat the course with permission of the Department Head.
