Completion of a physics project, either by the completion of Methods of Experimental Physics II, Phys 4052W (5) or by some alternate means subject to departmental approval. In either case, any credits received in so doing may be counted among the 18 credits required above. We suggest students take the full sequence Phys 4051, 4052W.
