Physics Department University of Chicago presented at the SPIN-UP Workshop June 4-6, 2010

who teaches faculty: 33 full-time teaching faculty + 2 Senior Lecturers (Dept advisers) graduate students: required to take Physics 300 (seminar)

who do we teach PhySci non-science majors40-90 Phys 120’s premeds et al.~140 Phys 130’s “engineers”~160 Phys 140’s Honors upper-level courses

degree programs BA in Physics –with Honors –with Specialization in Astrophysics Minor in Physics

BA curriculum General (3) Modern (1) Interm. Mechanics (1) Interm. E & M (2) Quantum Mechanics (2) Statistical (1) Experimental (1) Math. Methods (1) + electives (3)

advising placement advising: 130’s / 140’s Spring interviews Grad School Forum Physics 990 … and UG Town Hall mtgs (to advise us)

concerns c curriculum too “Victorian” leaky pipeline for non-Honors students (tied to “math problem”) no flexibility in coursework

changes Three goals: teach quantum physics earlier and more often  Phys 154, reordering make the non-Honors sequence a viable pathway  Math 220 more flexibility  program electives while retaining ability to complete major in 3 years (without heroics)

Program Electives offered in Physics ( ) Phys 223Topics in Math. Physics Phys 226Electronics Phys 236Solid State Physics Phys 237Nuclei & Particles Phys 238Modern Atomic Physics Phys 250Computational Physics Phys 251Chaos and Complexity Phys 253Materials of Tomorrow Phys 255Biological Physics Phys 260Fluid Dynamics Phys 261Structured Fluids Phys 264Spacetime and Black Holes Phys 271Cosmology (new for ) Phys 280Current Research Topics

successes number of majors –large (and increasing?) participation in research –most undergrad’s do research –3 Apker Awards since 1992 (but process too unstructured?)

existing concerns space (Kersten built in 1985) women in major (~ 20%) –Society of Women in Physics formed this year other
