Students studying physics at Carthage have many opportunities to enrich their education.
空间科学和NASA研究
The space sciences program at Carthage is a nationally recognized undergraduate program that provides students hands-on opportunities in technology development and atmospheric sciences through partnerships with NASA and academic researchers around the world. Participating students regularly travel to and work with researchers at NASA 肯尼迪航天中心, 约翰逊航天中心, 以及弗吉尼亚州的沃洛普斯飞行设施.
微重力团队 Carthage students and faculty regularly conduct research aboard NASA’s zero-gravity aircraft.
立方体卫星的团队 Carthage students work in teams with NASA guidance to design and build small satellites called cubesats that spend several years orbiting the earth. Team members participate in all aspects of a space mission from design through mission operations.
RockStat Students design research payloads that fly aboard sounding rockets that achieve 75-mile apogees and several minutes in the space environment.
高空气球研究 Students build payloads for near-space balloon launches. Payloads are carried to altitudes of 100,000 feet and stay aloft for 2+ hours.
每年, Carthage physics students participate in the state-wide Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium 大学火箭发射. Teams of students design and build a high-powered rocket to achieve a competition objective. Student teams from across the state launch their rockets in this annual NASA-sponsored competition event.
天文台的研究
Carthage has associations with many regional and national observatories, giving Carthage students access to the best astronomical equipment. Students have the opportunity to use telescopes at the nearby Yerkes Observatory, 亚利桑那州的基特峰, and the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, 其他设施.
本科生科研经历

本科暑期研究经历
暑期本科生研究经历, 或确定, offers Carthage students the opportunity to conduct significant research with a faculty mentor during the summer months. Students receive a stipend, room and board on campus, and a small research budget.
物理专业的学生 Jean Quashnock教授 study gravitational waves emitted by merging black holes, using data collected by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA scientific collaboration. They are modeling the merger events and measuring key properties of these black holes — including their mass and spin — seeking to test our current scientific understanding of these fascinating objects.
量子计算组
Jean Quashnock教授 collaborates with other faculty members to offer a research opportunity in quantum computing.
j项
January Term is a month-long period of study in January in which all academic departments offer innovative courses on campus, 以及到其他国家游学. The 物理 and Astronomy Department has been extremely active in j项, offering courses to both majors and non-majors that display physics in many different, 具体的方法.
At Carthage, students are both encouraged and inspired to serve the community. The Carthage chapter of the Society of 物理 Students performs outreach for 出赛 schools, 教学基本, middle and high school students about science and physics.
学生实习和校园就业
Carthage students regularly intern at NASA 约翰逊航天中心, 肯尼迪航天中心, 和格伦研究中心.
在校园里寻找实验室助理工作的学生, 补充教师, or department fellows should contact the department chair. The department regularly hires 补充教师 for introductory physics courses and lab assistants.
中部州数学和科学联合会
Carthage is a member of the 11-state Mid-States Science and Math Consortium, giving Carthage students access to facilities at other schools including the University of Chicago and Washington University in St. 路易.
bv伟德ios下载数字天文馆
The Carthage planetarium contains a Spitz SciDome HD dual-projector theater system for high-resolution scientific visualization. 除了制作天空的数字模拟, the SciDome HD system can create virtual trips through space, and allows students in the introductory astronomy class the opportunity to interact directly with the planetarium sky using the SciTouch infrared laser-based remote control. The SciDome HD system can also be used to display immersive and interactive visuals of the earth system. 作为一个戏剧系统, the Carthage planetarium can be used to exhibit specially-formatted films for full-dome screens. This facility features a 24-foot dome and can seat 30 people.
肯珀中心天文台
The Carthage 物理 Department operates an observatory on the grounds of the Kemper Center in 出赛.
