Program Review Report Department of Physics University of West Florida Pensacola May 31, 2009 To: Dr.

Leo ter Haar, Director, School of Science and Engineering (SSE); Dr. Chandra Prayaga, Chair, Department of Physics. Introduction The site visit for the Program Review of the UWF Physics Department took place April 9, 2009 by the following members of the Review Team: Dr. Michael Huggins, Department of Chemistry, University of West Florida Dr. Joseph Peters, School of Education, University of West Florida Dr. Talat S. Rahman, Department of Physics, University of Central Florida Prior to the visit, the Review Team was provided with the Self Study document from the Physics Department. A presentation of the self study summary was also made by the two tenured Physics faculty (Drs. Prayaga and Ujj). During the one day visit we met with the Provost (Dr. Chula King), College of Arts and Sciences Dean (Dr. Jane Halonen), Director, School of Science and Engineering (Dr. Leo ter Haar), the Chair of the Physics Department (Dr. Chandra Prayaga), Physics Faculty Members (Drs. Laszlo Ujj and Guoqing Wu), Physics Lab Manager (Mr. Bill Caplinger), Departmental Secretary (Sharon Meador) Adjunct Faculty Member, and a group of Undergraduate Physics Majors. In addition, we had teleconference discussions with two Physics Alumni who are now engaged in graduate studies elsewhere and were given a complete tour of the present facilities including classrooms, labs and outdoor equipment. We were also shown drawings of the proposed new building in which the Physics Department expects to move together with others in the newly founded School of Science and Engineering (SSE). The cooperation and candid conversations of all members of the Department allowed us to obtain a good assessment of the various educational and research activities of the Physics Department. Program Strengths The interviews made clear that the major strength of the department is the excellent quality of the faculty who are strongly committed to providing their students the best education possible. In this commitment they are joined by the lab manager and the secretary who also contribute significantly in making the experience of the undergraduate students rich and meaningful. From the impressions gathered in this short visit, it appeared that the faculty members are very supportive of each other and work together to ensure that their program is competitive and that the students receive the attention and mentoring they need. Students are also trained in working with each other, through formal help session arrangements between senior and junior students and through collective research and educational activities. The Lab Manager is an integral part of the educational experience of the students as several activities are organized through his contributions. According to the students, all physics faculty members are very generous with their time for the students and take on extracurricular, yet scholarly, activities with the students,

COURSE SYLLABUS
PHY2048UNIVERSITYPHYSICSI

Course Prefix/Number: PHY 2048 Course Title: University Course Credit Hours: 3 Hours Course Description: University Physics I is the first of a two-semester sequence of physics topics chosen as an introduction to this science. This is a calculus based physics course. The principal topics covered in this course are mechanics-the science of motion- (kinematics and dynamics) of particles and rigid bodies including the laws of motion, conservation laws and principles, gravity and oscillations. Mechanics is the basis for much of engineering and applied science, and many of the ideas introduced here will be needed later to understand things like the motion of waves and the motion of electrons through circuits or the contemporary concepts of science including modern physics. We will cover at minimum chapters 1-14 of the text book, than select topics by demand e.g. fluids and elasticity. Remember that this is a problem-oriented course. You will be responsible only for the material covered in class and assigned for special reading. Student Learning Outcomes: In accordance with the general educational mission, you are here to learn new analytical tools that will serve you well in a broad range of professions. The course will generate interest for a deeper understanding of nature. Along the way of mastering the subject you will learn how to use physics to analyze and solve many practical problems. Specifically, a student who masters this subject will have the following skills: The ability to model reality in terms of abstract objects and physical laws. The ability to express these models verbally. The ability to express these models graphically. The ability to express these models mathematically. The ability to manage complexity in terms of distinct and simpler concepts.

A109 There will be 3 midterm tests and a final exam. Both will be closed book but open notes exams. It is a good idea to use and create a handwritten notebook during the lecture classes and summarize all the important concepts from the text book. You will ACTIVELY participate in the class by working out the STUDENT WORKBOOK in the class. Problems and questions will be assigned as homework. Only a few of these will be worked out in class. It is important that you work out homework problems before looking at solutions. The tests will be very similar to these. You can submit as many problems as you are able to do in the time given to you. Submission of homework must be before the set deadline. No excuses will be entertained. Homework must be done neatly and the sheets must be stapled together.

Grades are assigned according to the following scale: 100 points for each midterm tests, 100
for the homework, 100 for the workbook, and 100 for the final. Total points for the semester are 600. 90 -100% A; 85 89.9% A- ; 80 84.9% B+ ; 75 79.9% B;70 74.9% B- ; 65 69.9% C+ ; 60-64.9 C; 55-59.9 C-, 50-54.9 D; < 50 F.

COURSE POLICY STATEMENT DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

PHY3106LMODERNPHYSICSLAB

COURSE: TEXT:

PHY3106L Modern Physics Laboratory No specific books are required. You will reference your text and any other material that are deemed useful.

WITHDRAWLS: UWF policy requires that students submit to the Office of Records and Registration a completed withdraw from courses, which is a different policy from that used by some other institutions, notably PJC. Withdrawals from this course that are processed by Friday, October 31, 2008 will result in a W grade being recorded. Withdrawals after this date can be done only by withdrawing from the University; No withdrawals can be made after the close of classes. GRADING: There will be 6 labs, each worth 25 points, and a seminar (presentation) on one of your experiments worth 50 points. For each lab, the points are distributed equally between the experiment itself, and the lab report. A further 50 points are allotted for discussions with each of the physics faculty (Drs Prayaga, Ujj and Wu) on each experiment. This works like this. For each experiment, it will be your responsibility to seek an appointment with each faculty member, and discuss the experiment with him, and he will grade you based on that discussion. Your total grade will be calculated as a straight percentage of the total number of points.

90 -100% A ; 70 - 74% B- ;

85 - 89% A- ; 60 - 69% C ;

80 - 84% B+ ; 50 - 59% D;

75 - 79% B < 50% F

LABORATORY PROCEDURES: You will work in groups of two unless there are not enough students available to make an even group. Each of you will independently collect and record the data that you and your lab partner observe. ALL observations and data should be recorded in your lab notebook Instructions for how your lab notebook, formal report and presentation are attached. ATTENDANCE: You are expected to spend 6 hours a week as scheduled in the lab or library working on you experiment or the associated research for the experiment. This will most likely not be a sufficient amount of time to complete all that is necessary. Hence you should plan to spend an equal amount of time outside of the scheduled lab time to work on each experiment. You are also expected to attend all of the presentations given during the

-136-

A137 semester. Missing one or more presentation will count against the grade you receive on your own presentation. General Notes and Hints: This is a discovery type of lab. Therefore the instructor will not tell you exactly what to do or which button to turn to find the desired result. More than likely it will also take you more than the assigned 6 hours a week to complete the experiment. It is recommended that you and your lab partner make arrangements to meet and work on your experiment outside of lab time. Sources of information are everywhere. You may use anything you like as a source as long as you report what it was in your lab book. Some good sources are the physics library, the John C Pace library, the internet, Dr. Chandra and Dr.Marsh. Seminar Presentation Guidelines 1. Presentations should be 30-40 minutes in length. 2. Slides of some sort are highly recommended. (PowerPoint, transparencies, etc.) 3. You and your lab partner may work on the presentation together but each of you will present it separately. 4. You may use any diagrams, models, etc that you like to help illustrate your point. Journal Submission This link http://www.jurp.org/articles/aboutjurp.htm will take you to the Journal of Undergraduate Research in Physics submission. You should use this format when preparing your formal write-up.

How to Keep a Lab Notebook

A lab notebook is the way real scientists keep track of their work. It may seem tedious or even unnecessary to you, but it is an important part of any lab experience. The notebook should be complete enough that you could refer back to it in a few years and repeat the experiments. General Guidelines: 1. The Notebook must be permanently bound: no loose-leaf or spiral notebooks. 2. Handwriting must be legible. Your TA will not grade materials that he or she cannot easily read. All notes should be taken in pen with the exception of colored drawings that may be done with pencils. Errors should be crossed through with a single line, not erased or obliterated. 3. All information in the notebook must be handwritten or represent actual results, such as photographs. Do not place any photocopied material into your notebook unless specifically directed to do so. 4. Everything you do in the laboratory should be recorded in your lab notebooks, including notes, drawings, data, speculations, etc. Everything from your initial strategy through planning, execution and interpretation should be in your notebook. 5. Keep all of your lab-related notes, including lab lecture notes, in one notebook. Keep a separate binder for the lab manual and lab handouts. 6. Keep in mind that reports and presentations will be prepared from the notebook. -137-

A138 You should have much more information recorded in your notebook than you can or should put on a poster or into a presentation.

The notebook should include:

The first two pages reserved for a table of contents. Notes from lab lectures, discussions and your own research. Answers to assigned questions. Prelab Section for experiments: Title of experiment and date. The Objective(s) of the lab: what you are trying to do and why you are trying to do it. The Procedure in flow chart or outline form. This should not be an exact copy of the lab manual instructions, but reworked in a manner easy for you to fallow 5. Any deviations from your written procedure. This includes changes both intentional and accidental. 6. Observations: everything that happens during your experiment that may have a bearing on the outcome or interpretation of the experiment (this includes color, precipitate, time, temperature, etc). 7. Data: raw and calculated. Use complete sentences, tables and graphs where appropriate. Show sample calculations with steps and units. 8. Discussion: Interpret your results. Refer back to your predictions. Draw conclusions about experiment. Make suggestions for further experiments or refinements to the procedure. Student Learning Outcomes: 1. Follow experimental procedures including lab safety, maintaining a lab notebook, proper data recording, statistical analysis of data, and reporting results 2. Measure and explain the significance of the measurement of some of the fundamental constants in nature, such the charge of the electron, the mass of the electron, and the speed of light. 3. Measure the characteristic behavior of alternating electrical circuits, in terms of currents, voltages, and impedances 4. Measure the spacing between atoms in a solid 5. Measure the gamma decay of some elements. 6. Measure the wavelength of light List of experiments: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Introduction: Physics Everywhere

Let us start this self study of our physics program with a short statement about the role and place of physics in the society and in science in general. We feel that we need this statement because, among other reasons, our local area is lacking high tech industry and we encounter deep misunderstanding about natural sciences in every imaginable forum. We are part of the physics society of the nation, represented by the American Physical Society (APS), and honor every value of this society. Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. It is the most basic and fundamental science. Physics challenges our imaginations and leads to great discoveries that change our lives. The computer that you are using and the laser that reads your CDs were developed as a result of basic physics research. Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles. Moreover, its the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy. All are easily accessible with a bachelors degree in physics. The importance of physics isnt limited to the hard sciences. Increasingly, physicists are turning their talents to molecular biology, biochemistry, and biology itself. Even medicine has a niche for physicists, and since medical physicists are hard to come by, they are much in demand. Physics also undergirds many new technologies. Cell phones, the Internet, and MRIs are only a few examples of the physics-based technological developments that have revolutionized our world. Many theoretical and experimental physicists work as engineers, and many electrical and mechanical engineers have physics degrees. A physics education equips a person to work in many different and interesting placesin industrial and government labs, on college campuses, and in the astronaut corps. In addition, many physics grads leave the lab behind and work at newspapers and magazines, in government, and even on Wall Streetplaces where their problem-solving abilities and analytical skills are great assets.
The use and distribution of any or all parts of this statement are encouraged by the American Physical Society.

History of the Department of Physics

The Physics Department opened its doors, along with the rest of the University, in 1967. The charter faculty members were Dr. Palmer L. Edwards*, the first chairman, and Dr. William B. Phillips. The next year they were joined by Drs. Robert N. Rigby* and Richard C. Smith. 1969 saw the arrival of Drs. Marsh and Stafford. All except for Edwards were more or less fresh out of graduate school. Stafford stayed only one year. Stafford was replaced by Dr. Pontius who stayed for several years. Pontius was replaced by Dr. Richard B. Fledderman*, who was transferred to the Physics Department after the dismantling of the Aeronautical Systems Department. When Fledderman suddenly passed on, the line was not filled and still remains as a forgotten vacant line. * Now deceased. The Department saw a period of stability until the retirement of the first University President, Harold B. Crosby. He was replaced by James A. Robinson in 1980. Phillips became interested in administration, and after a semester or two as an intern at Tallahassee he departed for a position west of the Mississippi. The department started a Masters' program, which started well but within a half dozen years had swept the area clear of potential candidates for the master's degree. After pondering a course of action for two years, Robinson completely scrambled the structure of the university, discarding Crosby's original vision. The reorganization involved combining some departments and the Physics Department found itself combined with the Systems Science (now called Computer Science) Department. As a much larger component, Systems Science furnished Dr. Miller as the chairman for the combined departments. Edwards who was replaced as the physics chair began phased retirement. This arrangement mercifully lasted only a year or so, but during this period the physics component of the department suffered another disaster from which it has not yet recovered. Rigby left and was replaced, over vehement protests by the physics component, by a computer type person designed to strengthen the systems part of the department. This replacement eliminated another line from the physics department, which shortly regained its identity. The reorganization soon turned out to be a disaster. This was quickly recognized by Robinson, who returned the university to a more traditional structure. Thus, did the Physics Department regain its independent existence, though now with faculty lines considerably reduced. For a year or so after the retro-reorganization the department was without a chairman and functioned as an Athenian democracy. Finally Smith agreed to assume the Chair. Shortly after Smith had become Chair Harold Norton, a retired Air Force major and WWII bomber pilot, was hired to concentrate on general physics classes and labs. He was an enthusiastic lecturer and became a favorite of most of the students who took his classes and labs. At this time the faculty was reduced to four, Smith, Marsh, Fledderman, and Norton. The decade of Smith's chairmanship was perhaps the most difficult period in the department, due to reduced enrollments and a faculty well below critical mass for a physics department.

6 The Presidency of Morris Marx saw something of a slow turn-around for the department, despite budget problems, which caused the wreckage of the library. Smith was finally allowed to resign the chairmanship and was replaced by Dr. M. C. George, an experienced chairman. Then Dr. Prayaga was hired a year later. After Norton retired, Mr. Robert Brooks, another retired military person, was engaged to look after the general physics I classes and labs. Enrollments began to rise and every couple of years would see a graduating class of majors of half a dozen or more, interspersed with classes of several. Founding of the Physics Alliance of Northwest Florida and the institution of the yearly Physics Olympics had some beneficial influence on this trend. Some funds became available which allowed upgrading of computers to a level which is still below the state-of-the-art units available in other labs. Two new additional tracks, Engineering Physics and Physics with Computer Science option were introduced in 1993. Also, a course in "Independent Research" was added to the major requirement. These steps along with the practice of hiring Physics majors as lab assistants have substantially rejuvenated the program. The establishment of a laser research lab with about $250,000 grant from NSF and the establishment of a separate demonstration lab are two other academic accomplishments since 1993. However, the number of required contact hours increased to such a high level, that it has made significant research by faculty less feasible. In addition, the university's decision to pursue enrollment numbers and FTE's as the primary goal made it increasingly difficult to offer a coherent sequence of physics classes for physics majors. The result has been and is more of a junior college atmosphere than a University environment. After Smith retired, we were allowed to hire Dr. Carl Mungan, a young and energetic person fresh out of graduate school. However he left for an opportunity to teach at the Naval Academy after four years. He was replaced by Dr. Laszlo Ujj, an experienced physicist originally from Hungary. M. C. George will step down from chair at the end of this summer. We are awaiting the appointment of a new Chair by the Dean. The above is reproduced from the History of the Physics department prior to 2002. The period 2002 2008 saw several changes in the department. Since the last review period, M. C. George stepped down from Chair and Chandra Prayaga became Chair of the Physics department, primarily because of James Marshs reluctance to assume that position. The student strength, which had previously always been hovering around 25 majors spread out over the four years, jumped to forty, and then settled around 35. The primary reason for this change was the stepped up efforts by Chandra to visit the local high schools more often for recruitment. This extra student strength meant that undergraduate research started flourishing. Each batch of students could take up research from where the previous batch left off, leading to the establishment of a few research facilities fabricated by the students with faculty guidance. Notable is the setup of a successful Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS)

7 measurement system, based on the Nd:YAG laser pumped Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO), obtained by the NSF grant of Chandra Prayaga and M. C. George earlier. Laszlo Ujj used his considerable expertise and experience in laser physics and ultrafast spectroscopy to modify the OPO to produce broadband radiation which is essential for coherent Raman spectroscopy. Under his guidance many students learned the theoretical and experimental basis of nonlinear spectroscopy, especially CARS. Laszlo Ujj was tenured and promoted to associate professor in 2005 for his excellent teaching and scholarly activity. Chandra Prayaga supervised students in setting up a thin film spin-coating system, which started measurements of dielectric properties of organic thin films including liquid crystals, and a few waveguiding experiments. It is hoped that with a little help from the university, these measurements can reach the publication level. This period also saw the participation of our students in symposia and conferences in undergraduate research around the country, again under the supervision of Chandra Prayaga and Laszlo Ujj. A notable achievement was the Best Undergraduate Research award won by the poster presented by our students, under the supervision of Laszlo Ujj, at the SPS Zone 6 meeting at the Florida Institute of Technology (2007). The success in undergraduate research also led to a larger number of students getting interested in pursuing graduate studies in research in Physics, and since then our students have been successfully completing graduate studies in leading Universities (e.g. UCF, FSU, Johns Hopkins). Chandra Prayaga also developed an interest in Physics Education research, particularly in design of teaching aids at the K-12 school and college level. The pleasure of these successes has been mitigated by the continuous losses in faculty strength. A physics department with 35 majors is not small, as measured according to any relevant statistics of physics departments around the entire country. We entered the current review period with four full-line faculties (George, Marsh, Prayaga, and Ujj). When M. C. George retired in 2005, the administration saw fit to replace him with only a lecturer, even though the department pointed out that it is not possible to get a well trained physicist with a Ph.D. for a lecturers position. Brandon Murakami joined as lecturer in August 2005. He was a particle physics Ph.D., and as expected, once it became clear to him that he was stuck in a no-growth position here, he took the first opportunity to leave, in July 2008. His departure reduced the number of individuals who could teach the upper division courses, but the rest of the faculty (Marsh, Prayaga, Ujj) gamely decided to teach extra courses to keep the program going. Unfortunately, within a month, James Marsh found the increasing paper work that nowadays accompanies teaching not to his liking, and decided to retire, and the department lost one more faculty member, who had served the department practically from the beginning. With the loss of Murakami and Marsh in a short period of time, the department faculty was down to two, and once again, the administration replaced both of the opened positions with one lecturer. Dr. Guoqing Wu, a young fresh Ph.D. from UCLA, joined the department as lecturer in August

8 2008. Prayaga and Ujj are currently teaching at least 5 courses each, every semester, and at the same time trying to keep the research fires burning. In spite of the above facts Laszlo Ujj published several papers with external collaboration, presented scientific results on conferences with student involvement as well as he submitted and co-authored a few proposals. Chandra Prayaga also has been able to publish a number of articles and also submitted several grant proposals in Physics and Math Education in spite of this load. During the last two years, a restructuring of some of the Science departments saw a new entity, The School of Science and Engineering, emerge as a compendium of the Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments. Under the directorship of Leonard W. ter Haar, it is expected that the SSE will spawn an active interdisciplinary research environment. Hopefully, the Physics department will see some encouragement for all its enthusiasm under the new structure.

2. Program Goals and ObjectivesStatements

The program goals of the Department of Physics comply with the goals and objectives of the University: continually developing UWF as a distinctive, comprehensive public university, focused on meeting the educational, research, and service needs of the region.

2.1

Instruction/Learning

a. The goal of the baccalaureate degree of physics programs is to prepare students to embark upon a professional career in physics or a closely related field and to prepare the qualified students for graduate study. b. To provide systematic, high quality training to all physics majors. The minimal list of topics to include is as follows: A. Classical mechanics, B. Electrodynamics, C. Thermodynamics, D. Optics/Photonics, E. Mathematical methods of physics, F. Quantum mechanics, and G. Modern physics. c. To teach i. a whole spectrum of analytical tools to model reality in terms of abstract objects and physical laws, ii. how to analyze and solve many practical problems that will serve the students well in a broad range of professions. d. To generate lifetime interest for a deeper understanding of nature, therefore preparing students to be scientific thinkers in society.

2.2

ScholarshipandCreativeActivity

Creative activity is an important aspect of the department. Faculties are expected to be involved in scientific research activities in a broader sense. Such research may be in experimental or theoretical physics, teaching methodology, or applied research of industrial and engineering problems. Research should involve undergraduate students.

2.3 Service
a. Providing educational support for non-physics major programs within the university by teaching general educational and introductory physics classes.

10 b. Providing technical and consulting support on the fields of expertise for the local higher educational and industrial organizations. c. Promoting and supporting K-12 education on the field of natural sciences within the Pensacola area and beyond. d. Acting on behalf of the university on local and national forums and competitions related to natural sciences, especially to physics.

3. Program Goals and Objectives-Assessment and Related Actions

Instruction/Learning
The University of West Florida, College of Science and Technology, and the Physics Department are committed to the assessment process in instruction. Several collegewide and university-wide workshops were conducted to help departments work out an assessment plan. a. Individual class assessment A departmental assessment plan (see appendix pg. 6-10) has been developed in order to help us enhance the teaching effectiveness of specific physics classes. Basically, the assessment process follows the steps: (i) (ii) (iii) Identify student Learning Outcomes (SLO) for each course. Classroom instruction should reflect the SLOs Classroom assessment should be continuous and not based on just exams. Active Learning and Student Engagement should be the main features of the teaching style. Assessment should be based on SLO. At the end of every semester, the faculty meets to discuss the status of our teaching and assessment procedures.

(iv) (v)

This assessment, together with careful considerations by our faculties, has been used to identify shortfalls in specific classes by content, quality, or teaching methods and it has resulted in several improvements. Most notably, our University Physics classes are taught from the best physics book available, a textbook which came out from an NSF funded didactic and active-learning focused research. Several other, up to date textbooks also have been adapted: Conceptual physics, Thermal Physics, Laser Fundamentals, etc. We do continue to enhance every course in every imaginable way possible.

11

b. Assessment of the physics program The most concrete evidence of the success of the overall program lies in the way its students are placed after graduation. During the last six years, the physics program has

achieved significant success in student placement. Our best students now are welcome in many industrial and academic institutions. The graduation trend of our physics program is summarized in Table 1 and Figure 1. The department produced 35 BS degrees, an average about 5 per year. The list of the graduated students is in Table 2. As of March 15th 2009, we have only partial information about the exact job or schools of many of our alumni. The last column of the table will be updated as we obtain information. Out of 35 graduated students some are pursuing graduate studies, some already have received Ph.D. or MS degree, some are employed as scientists in research labs, some are holding positions as engineers or company managers, and some are teaching physics or science courses in high schools.

ScholarshipandCreativeActivity(20022008)
All members of the physics department are engaged in creative activities, e.g. instrument development, analyses, control, educational computer program development, or just solving an important theoretical problem. Many of our results are not published, because of the nature of the activities. However, all of these activities involve students and they learn a lot and enhance their problem solving abilities and instrumentation skills by solving partial problems one-by-one and working in a team where they can gather project management skills. We would be delighted to talk about these activities and show the actual instruments or outcome during the reviewer visit. Those results that are worth to be presented to the scientific community are published under the name of the authors in the following list. The results, published and unpublished, provide an overall assessment of the creative activities of the department (see also CVs of our faculties: Appendices pgs. 40-82.)

4. Review of Curriculum
The curriculum focused around three connected Physics Tracks. Table 3 shows the distribution of students in each track. Our most popular track is the Regular Physics Track, but the track combined with Table 3 engineering classes is catching up. There Physics Track Number of Students is no time to teach too many advanced Physics 20 fields of physics within the 120 credit limit Physics/Engineering 12 of the BS degree. However, beyond the Physics/Computational 3 core classes (Modern Physics, Intermediate Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Thermodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, and Mathematical Physics), we offer several attractive specializations: Optics, Engineering Mechanics, Lasers and Applications. Our faculties also offer elective classes for individuals or small groups of students (solid-state physics, system automation (LabView), Laser Spectroscopy, Quantum Optics, etc). Table 4 shows the curriculum of each track. Students who completed the lower division, 60-credit requirement can start the physics track. A copy of the syllabi of all classes is presented in the Appendices (chapter 12th). The content of each class follows the general requirements of a physics BS and sometimes goes beyond that in order to give a guide to students for future studies. The department offers introductory physics classes (PHY2048 University Physics 1 with Lab and PHY2049 University Physics 2 with Lab) every semester; therefore students can take these classes any time. Offering of the upper level (major) classes should be done in a sequence, considering the interdependences of the classes. In every university with enough qualified faculty, the core classes are offered every year, therefore students who completed the prerequisite can take the class. Unfortunately, our physics department cannot offer the core classes often enough. Probably, because of financial constraints of the university we encountered a decaying number of faculties over the 2002-2008 period (see Appendices pgs. 21-23, budget data). The course offering plan had to be revised to accommodate the new situation. A class offer plan had been developed by taking into account the prerequisites, the number of classes, and the maximum number of faculty loads available. As a final result we could offer the necessary core classes every second year. Some introductory classes were passed to adjunct faculties and all faculties of the department have been giving elective, independent studies, and research classes as voluntary contributions. Our faculties have the necessary scientific knowledge to offer several graduate-level physics classes on e.g. solid state physics and photonics and to start a master degree program. (See the Opportunities chapter for further details.) However, the establishment of this higher level program would require hiring new faculties and some investment for experimental labs. The tangible part of this problem will be solved when we move to the new SSE building in 2010.

5. Review of Common Prerequisites

Common Prerequisites (28 sh) State mandated common prerequisites must be completed prior to graduation, but are not required for admission to the program. Courses in brackets indicate substitutes from Florida public community/junior colleges and universities. +CHM 2045/L General Chemistry I/Lab ............................... 4 sh [CHM X045/L, CHM X045C, CHM X045E or both CHM X040 and CHM X041] +CHM 2046/L General Chemistry II/Lab .............................. 4 sh [CHM X046/L, CHM X046C, CHM X046E] +MAC 2311 Analytic Geometry & Calculus I .................... 4 sh [MAC X311, MAC X281] +MAC 2312 Analytic Geometry & Calculus II ................ ... 4 sh [MAC X312, MAC X282] MAC 2313 Analytic Geometry & Calculus III ................... 4 sh [MAC X313, MAC X283] +PHY 2048/L University Physics I/Lab ..................................4 sh [PHY X048C, PHY X048/L] +PHY 2049/L University Physics II/Lab ..................................4 sh [PHY X049C, PHY X049/L] + Indicates common prerequisites which can be used to satisfy UWF General Studies requirements. Note: 1) The above common perquisites are for students in Bachelor of Science degree physics programs. 2) For students with Minor in physics programs the above common prerequisites are not needed prior to graduation. Instead, they are required to take 15 semester hours of physics courses above 3100 level to compliment their majors. 3) For Associate degree in physics programs, students must choose and complete 8 semester hours of the above common prerequisites in total prior to graduation, but are not required for admission to the program. Any of the above courses are accepted. 4) For future Master degree in physics program the common prerequisite would be the completion of the BS degree and a few additional classes e.g. crystallography.

See service activity of the Department.

7. Enrollment, Retention, and Degree Productivity

There is an average about 35 BS degree seeking students (see Appendix pg.11) over the review period, 2002-2008. This number is increasing since 2007 and we have about 40-45 physics students in 2009. The number of non-degree seeking students is roughly 3 every year. The department awards 5-6 BS degrees every year, therefore the dropout rate is about 45-50% (see retention data Appendices pgs.12-20.). There are several natural reasons to leave the physics track, however, the main reason of this high dropout is that the department does not offer the upper division classes often enough. The students do not have the patience to wait a couple of semesters for the classes they need for graduating as physics majors. Because of the low number of faculty, the department cannot offer the upper division classes more often. Out of the remaining physics students about 80% are ready to enter graduate school with TA and research experience gathered by working under supervision of our faculties.

8. ResourcesTrends and Projection of Need

8.1 Expense

The personal and budget data are summarized on pages 21- 23 in the appendices. The full time instructional 9-mth Faculty Salary without benefits follows the trend of change in the number of faculties and decreased from $259,113 to $157,202 over the 6-year period from 2002 to 2008. The department uses student assistants and adjunct instructors to compensate the increased faculty load and to make the department operational. The cost of student assistants increased from $12,330 (2002) to 28,441 (2008). The total adjunct cost is between $55,977 and $68,324. This variation is attributed to some rearrangements of the classes. No data is available for 2007 and 2008. The non-personal total budget of the department dropped to $13,500 (2008/2009) from $15,000 (2006/2008) as a result of the general budget cut of the university. Summer employment is an important part of the life of the department. The numbers in the chart on page A-21 reflect the instructional cost of the introductory (lower division) physics courses offered every summer.

8.3 LibraryandOtherLearningResources

The University of West Florida Libraries include the John C. Pace Library, the primary facility on the main campus in Pensacola, the Emerald Coast Library, located in Fort Walton Beach, and the Curriculum Materials Library and the Music Library, which are also located on the main campus. Housing more than 752,000 volumes, 1.2 million microforms, 5,100 serial subscriptions and providing access to thousands of full-text electronic journals, the library is also designated as a regional depository for publications of the United States government and the state of Florida. Members of the library staff are available to assist in the use of all library materials and the expanding new information technology, including online catalogs and databases, the Internet, document delivery systems, and other computer-based reference sources. The library also provides research assistance for faculties and students. The list of physics related scientific journals directly accessible from online databases is on pages 25-29 in the Appendices. Because of the large subscription cost associated to these online journals (E-journals) there is a limited full page access available, although great progress was made during the last six years. We are dependent on the Interlibrary Loan System. The delivery time to get a copy of a non-clickable article varies from a few days to weeks. Interlibrary Loan system locates and delivers non-UWF owned materials to support the research needs of UWF faculty, students, distance learners and staff.

8.4 InformationTechnology
Computers located at the physics department are linked directly to the university network system. Our physics labs use both Macs and PCs. There is no supercomputer access available for the department.

8.5 PhysicalEquipment&Facilities
Our department is located in building 13, third floor. We have one teaching lab, a classroom combined with a lab, and several offices. Two rooms are reserved for research equipment facilities. This situation, however, will change when we will move to a new building, spring 2010. There will be several classrooms and new research facilities in the School of Science and Engineering. The present equipment list is presented in the Appendices (pgs. 30-A33).

9. Summary of Major Changes since Previous Program Review

1. The student strength, which had previously always been hovering around 25 majors spread out over the four years, jumped to forty, and then settled around 35. 2. More of our graduates have been admitted to graduate studies in Physics. 3. Start of new research program in Physics Education (specifically in design of computer aided teaching aids in Physics). 4. As indicated in the Department Strategic Plan (2002) the department has submitted a large number of (more than 10) proposals to USED, NSF and FLDOE during this period. One proposal (Math Matters in Careers with the award amount of $ 1.5 million from FLDOE) in which Chandra Prayaga was coPI, was granted. 5. Laszlo Ujj has successfully supervised undergraduate research, developed a CARS system, and expended our laser spectroscopy prospect in an effective way based upon our existing equipment. 6. Undergraduate research has progressed successfully. Notable achievement was the Best Undergraduate Research award won by the poster presented by our students, under the supervision of Laszlo Ujj, at the SPS Zone 6 meeting at the Florida Institute of Technology (2007). 7. A restructuring of some of the science departments saw a new entity, The School of Science and Engineering, emerge as a compendium of the Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and Electrical and Computer Engineering departments. This re-organization was done with a view to increase interdisciplinary collaboration. Indeed all the proposals submitted by the Physics department were in collaboration with other departments. 8. The department saw a gradual decrease in faculty strength. At the beginning of the current review period, the faculty strength was 4 full-line faculty plus one lecturer. Now it is down to 2 full-line faculty plus one lecturer. This reduction has resulted in the faculty teaching 5 courses in a semester, having to continue supervision of UG research, preparation of grant proposals, continuing their own research, and providing service for the university.

10.

Strengths, Weaknesses, and Opportunities

The BS physics program is comparable to any other physics programs available at other universities in the US. However, our program provides special training of specific fields (see below) and unique opportunities of continuing education for the qualified students.

28

10.1 CurrentStrengthsoftheProgram
Provides excellent service for non-physics major programs: the introductory (lower division) physics classes are well developed and our physics majors and faculties provide out-of-class tutoring Offers specializations in material sciences, optics, laser physics, mechanics Serves not only the local community but students from the nearby military base Prepares for graduate school (see e.g. alumni achievement) Provides an enhanced education of developing analytical skills that hiring officers strongly consider (if not physics) Provides a comprehensive, high quality academic program Offers three different tracks to cater to student needs and interests Provides balance of theoretical and experimental training Provides training by outstanding faculty Offers opportunities to students to participate in research activities and in research symposia Provides the training necessary to pursue graduate studies or to enter the job market. Offers a research atmosphere in lasers and materials science research, which are among the foremost fields of research today. All the faculties are specialists in different areas of these fields.

10.2 CurrentWeaknessoftheProgram
There is some mismatch between the lower division laboratory classes and lecture classes.

29 The major courses are not offered frequently enough because of lack of sufficient number of faculties. Allocation of teaching duties also becomes uncertain. The lack of faculty also makes it very difficult for the existing faculty, who are overloaded with teaching duties, to concentrate on research and grant proposal preparation activities. We need to be able to offer a stable atmosphere to students. The continuous decrease in faculty strength generates a doubt in the students minds about our ability to offer a complete and well-rounded program. Lack of faculty has also restricted our recruitment and grant seeking efforts. The same faculty member cannot teach 5 courses a semester, visit 4 or 5 schools a semester, carry out UG research supervision, continue his/her research, and prepare at least one grant proposal per semester. The lack of a full-time active secretarial staff in the department further increases the load on the faculty, particularly in producing all the reports required by the administration.

10.3 Opportunities
The fact that currently the Physics Department is low on faculty strength should not deter us from making plans for the future and acting on them. A well executed action plan which results in one or more of (a) increased FTE, (b) increased major strength, (c) successful research grants, will always result in a rewarding future for the department. With this in mind, we need to investigate the following possibilities: (a) Increased FTE: Current situation: Our efforts to increase FTE will need to concentrate on the service courses, including the Academic Foundations (Gen-Ed) courses. Of these classes, PHY1020 (Concepts in Physics) was originally started by Chandra Prayaga as a course intended for pre-service Science teachers, and has since been generalized as an online Academic Foundations course open to all by Laszlo Ujj, and is highly successful. The class is always full, often up to a strength of 60, and offered fall, spring and summer. A course on Exotic Physics, started by Brandon Murakami, had to be abandoned after his departure. Future prospects and opportunities: For the immediate future, Prayaga is about to offer the service courses General Physics I and II as online courses during summer 2009. Depending on the response, and the pedagogical suitability of the course, this e-learning class could be continued. If the course

30 is made sufficiently attractive, it could draw many of the students currently taking the equivalent courses in the Junior Colleges. Caution: The pedagogical suitability of an online course at this level needs to be carefully discussed. Also, we need to discuss the possibility and suitability of offering an online Virtual Laboratory in place of the lab courses being offered along with the General Physics I and II courses. Prayaga is also in the process of designing a Physics of Current Technology course at the Academic Foundations level to replace the discontinued Exotic Physics. (b) Increased major strength: Current situation: An undergraduate only Physics program with 35 40 majors is by no means a small program according to national standards. Every effort must be made to further increase the strength. The current enrollment is being maintained by strong recruitment efforts on the part of the faculty and staff. Prayaga and Caplinger are for the most part keeping up the visits to schools, whereas Ujj (and now Wu) are handling most of the visits made by schools to the department. The entire faculty and staff participate in the Open House and Majors Fair meetings held at the university. Prospects and opportunities: The recruitment efforts will be highly energized by further involvement of the local chapter of the SPS. Without its help, it is physically impossible for us (with our current faculty strength) to increase our recruitment efforts. We need to make specific moves to send teams of physics majors on recruitment visits to schools. Restructuring the curriculum into an integrated 5-year Masters degree program, perhaps with collaboration with UCF. The physics department could offer the Master of Science degree in Photonics/Material Technology, Physics (and Math) Teacher Certification, or both. Prayaga has started discussions with the teacher education department of UWF regarding the latter. Ujj has started to work on the details of the photonics program and Wu will work on the material technology part. Many of our graduates have enquired about a Masters degree offered by the department, and the EGLIN Air Force Base has also shown interest in such a program. The possibility of graduate studies will automatically increase the undergraduate enrollment.

(c) Successful Research Grants: Current situation: The strength of physics should be shown and seen in its high quality degree program (we have our graduates going to Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Stanford, UCF) and research (including obtaining research funds

31 through grant proposals). Prayaga has been very active in applying for research funds. He was co-PI in the successful Math Matters in Careers grant ($ 1.7 million) funded by FLDOE in 2007. Future prospects and opportunities: Since 2007 Prayaga has submitted more than a dozen proposals for state and federal grants. This year, he has applied for one grant, and two more are in the works. Ujj is working on an MRI/RUI proposal on the establishment of a vibrational/rotational laser spectroscopy project and facility. Wu is about to submit one career grant and has one more in the works. Ujj and Prayaga have one proposal in the works (NSF-CCLI), and Wu is joining us in making it a department-wide affair. We think we should push these efforts forward. Most of the proposals submitted by Prayaga are in the Education field. However, following the current research interest of the scientific world in Liquid Crystals and Phase Transitions, it will be advantageous to collaborate with one of the leading research groups in the field and submit a joint proposal. The existing research activities at this department in laser related sciences, spectroscopy (e.g. Raman), and material sciences also can be stepped up considerably by collaborating with well known laboratories and research groups. Ujj and Wu have several connections to very active research groups and collaborative works are on the way. The existing ties with these research departments should be strengthened, so that a stable research activity is established. Such collaboration also increases the recruitment and retention. The fact that the department has research ties with universities that offer graduate studies will be a big draw for students in the area.

11.

Recommendations/Proposed Action Plans

Keeping in mind the barriers to the growth, the following recommendations are made for the improvement of the Physics program: 1. Increase the faculty strength by creating two full-line faculty positions, a lecturers position, and a demonstrator/organizer/interpreter position. The need for these positions should be obvious from this self study or can be summarized as follows: The department should provide smooth, compact physics BS program (vide supra). The direct teaching load on the faculty should be sufficiently lower to allow them to pursue more research and creative activities, which can attract external funding. More service activity of faculties will benefit the entire university, too. The reduction of the dependence on adjunct instructors will increase the standards of the teaching laboratories.

32 2. Significantly increase the efforts of student recruitment. The outreach activities should be amplified, particularly with the involvement of the local chapter of the Society of Physics Students. 3. Increase efforts in research that attempts to attract external funding. More proposals should be prepared for research funding. 4. Increase seminar activities, both for students and faculty. 5. Exploitation of the above opportunities

We would be honored to take into consideration the wise recommendations of the reviewer team.

such as Science Olympiads and workshops through the Society of Physics Students (SPS) chapters. We were pleasantly surprised to note that students were quite research oriented and several of the recent graduates had gone to reputed Physics PhD programs around the country. One of the seniors is scheduled to enter Harvard this coming Fall Semester, another plans to join the University of Central Florida (UCF), several others are contemplating entering graduate programs. Clearly, faculty make sacrifices and extra efforts to provide Physics Majors a sense of direction in their field as evidenced by students having the necessary preparation it takes to be accepted into graduate programs. This is a remarkable achievement for any physics department, let alone for one with so few faculty members on the roster. According to the Physics Department web site The mission of the Physics Department is to provide high-quality instruction in Physics and to train competent Physicists who can contribute significantly to the Physics and Engineering environment in the country. The faculty members in Physics at UWF are certainly committed to this mission and are effective in achieving their goals. The Physics Curriculum is a second major strength. It is a rigorous curriculum and includes all courses that one would expect for a Physics Major in any established physics program in the country. Apart from the standard physics core, students have the option of specializing in a few areas, particularly in optics and laser physics. The curriculum also includes some courses that students at other institutions may not be able to take, for example, a second semester of math physics. While most of the teaching and student credit hours are spent in service courses, strong preparation for the future is provided for Physics Majors as well. Physics students feel wellprepared for graduate school and industry. Tracks in Engineering and Computational Physics are additions to the curriculum that give students more choices in preparing for jobs in industry and in solving real-world problems using computational technology. The review team was impressed by the achievements of students, both the present juniors and seniors and by those who had recently left and were graduate students elsewhere. The two Physics Alumni that we interviewed appeared to find themselves very well prepared for graduate school (at University of Arizona, for example). A third major strength is the emphasis that the Physics Department places on undergraduate research. This involvement of students (both inside and outside of the Physics Department) allows them to experience science in a way that encourages problem solving and creativity far beyond what textbook and lecture alone can accomplish. The students we talked to expressed that research was one of the most positive components of the program and that faculty members are willing to spend the extra time necessary for training them in state-of-the-art research. Their only disappointment is that given only three faculty members, there is not as much of a choice in research topics as it would have been in a larger sized department. The availability of the CARS (Coherent Anti Stokes Raman Spectroscopy) facility has been very beneficial in promoting undergraduate research in the department. Strong engagement of Physics Faculty in Physics Education projects has also had a very positive impact of the educational pedagogy and learning outcomes of the students. Perhaps these achievements are responsible for increase in the number of Physics Majors to about 35 currently, which is an impressive number for a university the size of UWF. Note that UCF with a student body of 50,600 has about 120 Physics majors. Overall, the review team is impressed by the quality of the Physics Majors, as reflected in conversations with present and former students.

Program Challenges The paramount challenge for the Physics Department is the extremely low number of faculty members, leading to over worked individuals. From any standard, 2-3 faculty members cannot sustain a viable physics department in a university of over 10,000 students. This number of faculty is low even if the Department offered only service courses. It is almost impossible for such a small number of faculty members to sustain the education and creative activities of majors in the field. The two tenured professors and one temporary lecturer have performed a Herculean task in maintaining a strong Physics Majors Program at UWF. While they should be commended and rewarded for this, it is clear that such an over load (5-6 course per semester per instructor) cannot be maintained for a long period of time and should be addressed immediately. Already there is a danger that the Physics Department will be unable to offer required courses for majors every year. There is an urgency that the Department be allowed to hire at least two more tenure-track faculty members in addition to converting the temporary lecturer position into a permanent one. The addition of the new SSE building and the phenomenal resources associated with the building should lead to a natural increase in the number of majors associated with the SSE programs. The reduced number of current staffing of the Physics Department does not place them in a position to handle such an increase. The quality of the Physics Program will suffer, despite the increase in resources. The self study also requests the Physics Department be given permission to hire a demonstrator/organizer/interpreter. This individual would relieve the lab manager of some of his responsibilities, since he is also overworked and has taken on several added responsibilities (recruiting students, traveling science show, etc.). It should be noted that both the quality and quantity of Physics Majors depend on active recruiting, Physics shows, participation in Science Olympiads, etc. Opportunities: It should also be noted that the Physics Faculty are at the point at which they can benefit from further interactions with scientists in the area. They have displayed their potential to do research and have made inroads in their fields, despite their heavy teaching loads. The CARS laboratory has already trained several students in research with very positive outcomes. Physics Education Research has also prepared them for funding opportunities. Most students met by the panel were looking forward to conducting research. It is not clear how this demand will be sustained without additional faculty and release time for those who engage students in original research activities. On the other hand, if the number of faculty members increases, those interested could engage in research with faculty in other Florida universities such as UCF. Students would benefit the most from such interactions. The Physics Department at UCF is very receptive to such efforts. UWF Physics Faculty Members have been able to attract competitive grants from federal agencies. They could certainly pursue such opportunities on their own, provided they had the time for such activities. They could also be engaged in collaborative proposals to agencies such

as NSF with other Florida universities. Several calls for such collaborative proposals exist and should be entertained.. Major Recommendations Hire at least two more tenure earning faculty members. One of them could be in computational physics to broaden the scope of the program. Hiring someone in Astronomy or Astrophysics would also help attract students. Hire at least one full time lecturer. Hire one demonstrator/organizer/interpreter. Engage in collaborative research with other Florida institutions such as UCF. Participate in securing external funding for research and curriculum development once more faculty members are hired.

Gender diversity in faculty would also help recruit more female students. Of course, it is difficult to recruit a diverse group of students with such limited faculty. The total number faculty has to increase if they are to have a viable program. Other Recommendations In discussion with physics faculty, a few issues about departmental autonomy and control over budget came up in the conversation. For example, the Physics Chair indicated that he did not have a budget and could not order material for the Department. In fact, since the creation of the School of Science and Engineering, the administrative hierarchy had not been clearly established. The Chair also indicated that he was no longer responsible for the evaluation of Departmental Faculty and Staff. There were also questions in the minds of the panel about the pros and cons of SSE. Such administrative structures could help facilitate interactions between the involved departments and the sharing of resources in the new SSE building. However, they are most effective if they allow the departments to maintain their own identity and autonomy. Departmental issues are typically specific to the discipline and are best resolved/refined there. In addition, the uncertainty associated with the current leadership/administrative structure could lead to serious morale issues within the Physics Department making it substantially more difficult to retain and attract talented faculty. It was also not clear from our discussions if Departmental Faculty had access to specific professional development opportunities. Additionally, there were some questions about space for an undergraduate lounge and other Departmental activities. These were not discussed in detail since the new building is expected to address the departments space needs. Specifically we recommend that the: Physics departmental budget be controlled by the Physics Chair. Physics Chair have the responsibility for evaluations of Physics Faculty and Staff Physics Department should maintain its autonomy within SSE. Physics Department incorporate well defined strategies for faculty professional development.

These recommendations come at little to no cost to UWF, and should be implemented immediately. Summary: The Departmental Faculty continue to do an incredible job of maintaining a viable program, given that they have operated for the past several years at 30-40% of their original faculty strength. They started with 6 tenure earning faculty and despite their tremendous success at maintaining an excellent Physics Majors Program, they are operating at a third of their size. It is strongly recommended that the university hire at least three faculty members (2 tenure track and one lecturer) as soon as it is budegetarily feasible. A healthy Physics Department is a core component of any institution of higher learning and when adequately funded, a boon to the University and to the community.
