Section Summary of changes
Summary of core changes.
First vote:
Modern Physics + Reference Frames Paradigm + Classical Capstone \(\rightarrow\) Contemporary Challenges + Intermediate Mechanics (+ maybe Junior Lab)
9 3-week Paradigms + Math Methods Capstone \(\rightarrow\) 6 5-week Paradigms with math bits
9 credits of Electronics + Computer Interfacing \(\rightarrow\) 6 credits of Electronics + Computer Interfacing
Summary of separable changes.
Second and third votes:
Decide to develop Junior Lab for Spring 2018
Eliminate Intro to Computational Physics \(\rightarrow\) require more of Computational Physics Lab
Summary of procrastinated changes.
Determine requirements of the major
Introduce or revive specialty courses
Define content and extent of capstones
Decide what to do about thesis requirement
