The Experimental Physics Research Academy focuses on current physics, specifically mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum dynamics, and astrophysics. Through lectures, activities, projects, and discussions with their instructors, students move past memorized equations to gain an understanding of cause and effect, and ultimately an appreciation of physics on a higher level. The Experimental Physics Research Academy is fully residential with no commuter or online options.
Features
Lectures and discussions: Students receive a guided tour of physics, starting with kinematics and building through electricity and nuclear physics to modern physics and quantum mechanics. Additional class time is devoted to the philosophy of science; experimental design; choosing education paths; and the ethics of science.
Broader Penn research: Each week there are several research talks given by Penn faculty members about their fields of specialization and active research, which include question-and-answer sessions with our students.
