Undergraduate Research Festival

Ashraf Farahat

Dept Physics, Oakland University

Why should I take a Physics class? Why Physics is important to me? These two questions will be answered by a group of undergraduate students who enjoyed physics classes. Physics is a great way to sharpen and hone our ability to think for ourself. We can learn about many everyday phenomena that have a simple physics explanation. If you major in engineering, almost all important engineering classes require you to have a strong physics background. If you major in math, you will see lots of cool applications of math when you study physics. If you plan on applying to medical/dental school, you should take physics as early as you can. During this undergraduate festival, students will present small projects that show how understanding physics helped them to succeed in their major.
