Hi! I am interested of getting the curriculum that one student have to carry out to receive a B.S. in Physics (as a matter of fact, I dont know if B.S. in Physics is the correct expression). I am a student in Physics Engineering at Monterrey Tech (in MEXICO) and our curriculum is: 1st. Semester: Economy, French I, Mathematics for Engineering I (Calculus and Advanced Calculus), Chemistry (Organic and Inorganic), and Computation I (Integrated software: Word Processors, Databases, etc.). 2nd. Semester: Physics, Advanced Writing, French II, Mathematics for Engineering II (Calculus of Several Variables), Probability and Statistics. 3rd. Semester: Computation II (Introduction to Computer Science trough Pascal), Oral Communication, French III, Magnetism and Electricity, Mechanics, Differential Equations. 4th. Semester: Electric Circuits I, Optics, Partial Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Statistics I, Developing of Business Spirit (Desarrollo de Emprendedores). 5th. Semester: Numerical Methods, Electric Circuits II, Modern Physics, Mathematical Methods, Complex Variable, Digital Image Processing. 6th. Semester: Electronic I, Theoretical Mechanics I, Modern Physics Laboratory, Optics Laboratory, World's Social and Cultural Values, Thermodynamics I, Holograms. 7th. Semester: Electronics II, Laboratory of Electronics I, Electromagnetical Theory, Theoretical Mechanics II, Social and Cultural Values in Mexico and Latinoamerica, Optical materials. 8th. Semester: Laboratory of Electronics II, Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics, Professional Ethics, Optical Fibers, Topics of Physics I. 9th. Semester: Solid State, Development of Physics Proyects, Laboratory of Nuclear Physics (you may guess what happens if a student flunk an exam =-), Laboratory of Solid State, Total Quality Control, Lasers, Topics of Physics II. And that's all folks: you get the Physics Engineer grade. Is this competitive? do we need a more indeep background? is it ok? Actually -and if you have and average grade of B- you can take five courses more: Computers Architecture I, Digital Circuits, Microprocessors I and II, and Computers Architecture II). I will appreciate all of the responses, and -as always- if there is interest I will summarize. BTW, I am in my third semester =-). Thanks: Isidro Gerardo Avila-Calderon -- iavila@asgard.mty.itesm.mx
