First-class or high second-class standing in all previous Physics courses is expected. Permission of the Department is required. Acceptance will be contingent upon the student's finding a project advisor, approval of the research project topic, and the Department's assessment of the student's suitability for the program. Students interested in doing Honours should consult the Department Chair as early as possible, normally before the beginning of the student's third year, and no later than January 31 of the third year. Before registering for Physics 490, the student must have been accepted into the Honours program, and the project topic must be approved by the Department. To graduate with Honours in Physics, the student must maintain a minimum average of 75% in all Physics courses combined. Students must also maintain a minimum overall average of 70% in each of the four years of study. Project (Physics Advanced Research and Thesis) This is a 12 semester hour course required of all Honours Physics students. An independent research project or study is done under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Some or all of this work may be done in the summer months. Before registering for Physics 490, the student must have been accepted into the Honours program, and the project topic must be approved by the Department. The objective of this course is to provide research experience for the student who intends to pursue further studies at the graduate level, or who is planning a career where research experience in Physics or related areas would be an asset. Requirements for a B.Sc. with a Major in Physics for Engineering Diploma Students Students enrolled in the Engineering Diploma program may wish to take additional Physics courses and work towards a Bachelor of Science degree. Students intending to enter this program should consult the Physics Department for detailed advice on course selection. First Year Semester Hours Credit Physics

4 Second Year Physics (for students enrolled in the Engineering Diploma Program, this may be replaced by Engineering 321) 3 Physics Physics Third and Fourth Years Physics Physics - At least eight additional courses taken from the following: Physics 272, 311, 322, 372, 382, 391, 402, 411, 421, 422, 431, 441, 451, 481, and Engineering 332, 341, The student must also complete all the requirements for the Engineering Diploma, and take sufficient courses (including Engineering courses) to satisfy the general requirements for a University degree. A total of 120 semester hours of credit is required. PHYSICS CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM (PHYSICS CO-OP) The Physics Co-op program is an integrated approach to university education which enables students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. The success of such programs is founded on the principle that students are able to apply theoretical knowledge from course studies in the workplace and return to the classroom with practical workplace experience. The Physics Co-op program is a five-year program, consisting of eight academic and a minimum of four work terms, which is available for students in both the Major and Honours Physics Programs. Students who successfully complete all the requirements of the program will have the notation entered on their transcripts and on the graduation parchment. Academic Course Requirements Academic course requirements for the Physics Co-op Major and Physics Co-op Honours are identical to those for the conventional degrees. The first two years (academic terms 1 to 4) are the same as the conventional degree. In the final four academic terms (spread over three years), students must complete the 300 and 400-level courses required for their degrees. Some of these courses are offered in alternate years; however, over the three years all these alternating courses will be available for students to choose from. Students admitted to the co-op program should consult with the department concerning their course selection. Admission Requirements Students interested in entering the Physics Co-op Program must submit an official transcript and a curriculum vitae to the Physics Co-op Program Director. Applications are made during the second year of study, but special application cases will be considered. The applicant must be a full-time student in either a major or honours physics program at the time of application and must normally have a cumulative average of at least 70% in the required physics courses. Students will be admitted to the program based on their interest, aptitude and assessed ability, to combine successfully the academic requirements with the special work term requirements of the Physics Co-op Program. Students not admitted may reapply at the next opportunity.

5 Continuance Requirements Once admitted to the program, students must continue in full-time enrollment between work terms. An academic review of students performance will take place at the end of each semester. Students in the Honours program are required to maintain an average grade of 75% in all Physics courses combined and must also maintain a minimum overall average of 70% in each of the four years of study. Students in the Physics Co-op Major program are normally required to maintain an average grade of 70% in all Physics courses combined. It is also required that students achieve satisfactory performance on previous work terms, as outlined below in Program Requirements. Students who fail to meet these standards or who fail a course(s) will be placed on notice for the next academic semester. Students who do not meet these standards for two consecutive academic semesters may be dismissed from the program. Work Term Requirements The University will make every effort to locate work term positions for Physics Co-op students in suitable areas of employment, but cannot guarantee work terms. In the event that a placement outside the university is unsuccessful, the option to complete the work term within the Physics Department will be considered. Satisfactory fulfilment of Physics Co-op work terms requires: 1. The completion of a minimum of four work terms in approved, academically-related, paid employment situations of 12 to 16 weeks duration; 2. Completion of one spring work term in year three and one fall work term in year five, and two out of three possible summer work terms; 3. A satisfactory employer evaluation for each co-op work term; 4. The satisfactory completion of a written report at the end of the work term; 5. Fulfilment of other requirements specified by the Department of Physics, such as the participation in seminars and workshops. Students are required to apply by early December for a first work term starting in May of the following year, or in early April for a first work term starting the following January. A notation will be placed on students academic transcripts following completion of each work term. Withdrawal Conditions Students may be required to withdraw from the Physics Co-op Program if: 1. They are dismissed from, discontinue, or fail an approved co-op work term position due to a fault on their part; 2. They fail to submit or successfully complete a work term report; 3. They do not satisfy the continuance requirements including the required course grade average necessary for continuance in the Physics Co-op Program;

6 Registration Students are required to register for all work terms at the Registrar s Office. Work terms will officially be designated on students transcripts as pass or fail.
