33-201 Undergraduate Colloquium I Units: 2.0 Department: Physics Related URLs: http://info.phys.cmu.edu This course (together with 33-202) is designed to give students an overview of the field of Physics and to help students make knowledgeable choices in both their academic and professional careers. We discuss several of the sub-fields of Physics in order to give students an understanding of the types of activities, from research to industrial applications, in each. Over the two semesters, we typically discuss six subfields in some detail with the goal of providing a minimal literacy in the relevant concepts and language. The course consists of one classroom lecture per week plus roughly one hour per week of reading and/or problem solving.
