study took place, it seems to have been more successful due to itsapproach on how to integrate the courses. This initiative seeks to create a common groundapplicable to most areas to encourage the creation of hybrid courses to benefit the understandingof both students and teachers, by creating an integrated curriculum instead of isolated islands ofknowledge. This specific approach centers on the integration of the Physics I and Mathematics Icourses, named Fis-Mat, for its name in Spanish. While efforts have been made to create thefollowing courses and some implementations have been made for a Fis-Mat 3 course, the first oneis our center of study as it is the most mature.Different aspects of the course have been reported in previous

Quantumwell (QW) devices provide such an example. QW devices feature very thin epitaxial layers ofsemiconductor materials that are grown using techniques like molecular beam epitaxy. Thesedevices can be integrated with various optoelectronic devices to provide photonic integratedcircuits with increased functionality. They are widely used in lasers, photodetectors, modulators,and switches. QW also operates much faster with much less manufacturing costs. Theseadvantages are of great importance to the telecommunication and computer industry. QWsemiconductor lasers have also become the key

AU’s physics program is integrated within a single department along with twoother disciplines in the department of Computer Science, Audio Technology, and Physics (CAP).This structure was considered in devising the new curriculum as an opportunity to combine thestrengths of these different but related disciplines.One way of utilizing this opportunity is in offering courses that would be of benefit to thephysics program as well as to computer science

well.I. IntroductionIn our 2007 paper1 we reported on an assessment study we had conducted that resulted in asignificant change and reorientation with the curriculum and subsequent course progression ofour physics program. At that time, our physics program was integrated with a single departmentalong with two other disciplines in the department of Computer Science, Audio Technology, andPhysics (CAP). Shortly after our study was conducted, each of these programs separated and 3independent departments were created.As part of our study, we looked at comparative data from 22 national undergraduate programsfocusing on those that were in universities without graduate programs in physics as well as thosein liberal arts colleges.

]. However, capstone experience isan outstanding opportunity in integrating knowledge and skills from different fields and can beused as an opportunity for a genuine undergraduate research experience [5]. Moreover, suchexperience is a major block in proving student performance for program accreditation purposes[6]. A large national survey of engineering programs (444 programs) showed that most programsoffer a one-semester long capstone course followed by two-semester capstone [7]. A similarremark is valid particularly for accredited engineering physics programs as well, while in morethan two thirds of non-accredited programs no capstone course is required [8]. The generalobjectives of the capstone experience usually aim at creating a stimulating

These classes include quantum mechanics, theoreticalmechanics and electromagnetics. While the intent was to change courses for physics majors,most of the students in the electromagnetics course are electrical engineering majors at ourinstitution. Therefore, we tried to find computational and experimental problems for that coursewhich would interest the

Abstract Engineering Physics (EP), at its core, is a multidisciplinary approach to solving problemsthat require insights from various traditional disciplines. The EP curriculum at Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology strives to foster this multidisciplinary approach by incorporating studentprojects that require integrating concepts and principles from various fields into a meaningfulapproach toward a realistic solution. These projects, ideally involve a design / problemstatement, a fabrication step, and a testing or characterization stage.

However, the Pi does not include analog input channels.External circuitry would be required to record analog signals making it less useful for dataacquisition.The Arduino Uno includes 14 digital I/O channels and 6 analog input channels making it moreuseful as a data acquisition platform. Secondly, students are able to connect currently availabledata acquisition equipment using either an analog or a digital breadboard adapter sold by Vernier.This allows students to use a Vernier Force Sensor, Motion Detector, or any other equipment.Using the adapters, students are not required to build any circuits
