More
than 40,000 physicists work in industry, educational institutions,
government, and medical centers today. Most are active scientists
and engineers, engaged in research, development, administration,
and teaching. Others use their physics background in fields such
as publishing, sales, law, accounting, and medicine.
Two thirds of all physicists tend to
work in basic or applied research and development that is supported
by privately financed, governmental, or non-profit research centers.
Basic research aims to increase the knowledge about the universe.
Applied research uses basic knowledge to solve human problems
such as food and energy supply, environmental protection, transportation,
communication and defense.
Other opportunities for employment exist
in teaching, consulting, environmental research, biophysics,
computer science, nuclear physics, geophysics, medical physics,
astrophysics, meteorology, and any industry utilizing technology.
If you are interested in a career related to physics, we invite
you to join us at
. . . an excellent choice!
The
skills you learn in physics are useful in many careers. Our graduates
have gone into geology, geophysics, medical physics, environmental
studies, aerospace engineering, electronics and astronomy. Still
others have used their physics skills in management and business.
Our physics graduates have found employment
with the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of Transportation
Test Track, Sandia and Argonne National Labs, Desert Research
Institute in Nevada, and in such companies as Martin Marietta,
Unisys, National Cash Register, Xerox, Ford, Kaman Sciences,
Borg Warner, OAO Corporation, Advanced Digital System, and many
more.
Like many physicists, physics graduates
have traveled to faraway places. Robert spent several 7 month
winters at the South Pole, Becky did geophysics research in Argentina,
Pat gave lectures in China. Recent physics graduates have pursued
advanced degrees at many fine universities including University
of Colorado-Boulder, University of Arizona, University of Washington,
and University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
