Physics Capstone Projects
The Physics Department at Pacific is committed to providing research opportunities for students. All physics majors at Pacific are required to do either a senior capstone research project or an internship. Often times, these projects are the culmination of two or more years of research that the student has done with their faculty advisor. These research experiences are extremely valuable, no matter what career path the student ultimately chooses after graduation since it gives them "real world" experience where there is not a cookbook recipe for how to go about solving problems and the answers are not known ahead of time.
All physics majors participate in Senior Projects Day. This is an excting, annual event in which students from every discipline on campus share the results of their research, creative work, and performances.
The links below will introduce you to many of the physics majors and their projects from the past several years.
