The Academic Council of BRAC University in its 17th meeting held on August 24,2005 approved the programme of minor in physics for students doing a major in CS, CSE, ECE or any other relevant discipline. Such major-minor combination will stand the students in good stead in the job market.
The details of the Minor in Physics programme are given below.
Total credit requirement: 27 credits
There will be seven compulsory courses, each of three credits, which are as follows:
PHY 111: Principles of Physics I
PHY 112: Principles of Physics II
PHY 204: Classical Mechanics & Special Theory of Relativity
PHY 205: Statistical Mechanics
PHY 210: Quantum Physics of Atoms, Solids & Nuclei
PHY 301: Classical Electrodynamics
PHY 305: Quantum Mechanics III
Students may choose any two courses from the following list of elective courses each of three credits offered by the Department.
