    Eight students will give brief presentations about their summer research experiences at Carleton and other institutions.

  • TOPS

    Teaching Opportunities in Physical Science TOPS is a six-week summer program aimed at physics and engineering majors who are currently in their sophomore or junior year and are considering careers in teaching at the secondary level. The program is hosted by the Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) at MIT and Harvard. The goal of TOPS is to provide college students with an exceptional teaching experience that will reinforce their interest in pre college physics teaching.

  • Galileoscope

    The Galileoscope

    Always wanted a telescope of your very own? Buy a Galileoscope for $15 from the Physics and Astronomy department. The telescope comes in a kit and is a 2″ refracting telescope. Each kit has three eye piece options, and can be attached to any standard tripod. If you’d like to purchase one, email Jenny Goetz at IYA2009nfld@gmail.com. Learn more about the Galileoscope at https://www.galileoscope.org/gs/.

  • Summer Research Away from Carleton – REUs and Internships

    As information on REUs and internships comes into the department, it is posted online at http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/reu/.

    Check for new information often as this site gets updated regularly. Start preparing your applications over winter break because many of these REUs have deadlines in mid January and you will want to come back to Carleton ready to submit your applications.

    Please read the instructions for requesting letters of reference here http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/physics/for_students/references/ before you ask for a letter of reference from a faculty member. This will make the process go more smoothly for everyone.

  • Knowles 2010 Teaching Fellowships
