    Do These Focased Physics Programs Seem Beneficial?

    That's the thing... I have not a clue what I want to do, so it's hard for me to make a decision. I would like to get more experience in either of these fields, but I sort of need to make this decidion now... especially if I want to go with the electronics option. I know I want something...

    Do These Focased Physics Programs Seem Beneficial?

    [SIZE="3"][FONT="Garamond"]Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for anyone willing to help me make this decision. My school offers some options with the physics major supposedly designed to enable students to be more ready to join the workforce after college. As this is my plan, I am...

    Whats Possible with a B.S in physics?

    Yes you can. Sorry for the absoluteness of my statement earlier, but its not quite a sure thing. I know of a couple of people who have done it, the school just seems to treat there be more willing to accept students who are already paying them to main campus. That said... there's a...

    Whats Possible with a B.S in physics?

    Im a physics major at PSU main right now. I can;t really answer your question regarding opportunities after school (I share the same concern), but I can tell you that a sure way to get here is to get accepted to a satellite campus and transfer after a semester. Or just stay at that campus for...

    Bouyency and Water Discplacement of 2 Fluids

    Homework Statement A boat floating in fresh water displaces water weighing 37.3 kN. What is the difference between the volume of fresh water displaced and the volume of salt water displaced (Vfresh - Vsalt)? F(bu) = 37.3E3 kg/m^3 (rho)fresh water = .998E3 kg/m^3? (rho)salt water =...

    Hydrolic Pressure and Bulk Modulus

    Its 10^11, and I did the calculations with 10^11. Thanks anyway, I actually figured the problem out. When I used .870^3-.857^3 for deltaV the calculations worked just fine. I didn't realize that making the calculation easier by breaking it up would cause such a problem if I used the correct...

    Hydrolic Pressure and Bulk Modulus

    Homework Statement A solid copper cube has an edge length of 87.0 cm. How much pressure must be applied to the cube to reduce the edge length to 85.7 cm? The bulk modulus of copper is 1.4 multiplied by 1011 N/m2.Homework Equations Vcube= s^3 F/A=(B x deltaV)/V p=F/A p=(B x...

    Physics Careers outside of Physics for Physics Majors?

    I've actually probably spent about 10 hours over the last week searching this topic (in fact, utilizing the search tool). Yes it has been discussed before, but most other threads concentrate on people who want to work in a "physics" field, whatever that may be. These threads are all pretty...

    Physics Careers outside of Physics for Physics Majors?

    What does on do in an industry setting with a BS in physics? I really do no think I want to work IN physics. I suppose if I took some business classes I could end up alright. But what would a Physics BS look like to prospective employers? My goal is to be in a management position in...

    Physics Career Guidence Needed: Physics and Business

    I see where your coming from, but I really don't know what I want to do. I enjoy studying physics, but I want to get into a career after my BS so I can establish myself. As long as I have to be in school, I want to study physics because it interests me the most. After that I want a career...

    Physics Career Guidence Needed: Physics and Business

    More research shows that industrial engineering may be what I want to do as a career, but it has almost nothing to do with physics...

    Physics Career Guidence Needed: Physics and Business

    Would a Physics BS, and an MBA give me a positive job outlook, or would the two look completely unrelated and useless to prospective employers? I'm afraid of what getting a Physics BS might do to my future. I will have a Associates Degree in Science at the end of this semester from a local...

    Schools Need avice picking undergrad school.

    Thanks guys. I am more looking toward schools in PA, but was considering others. I'm not so sure I'll be looking for more than a bacholers, so I figured the school would be important. Thanks for the list.

    Schools Need avice picking undergrad school.

    Does anybody have a link to a list of schools based on ranking. I'm not looking to get into MIT but don't want to go to the wrong school for this.
