SUMMARY:Integrating Computation into the Undergraduate Physics Major\,
  Physics Department Colloquium\, Shaul Hanany\, University of Minnesot
 a
DESCRIPTION:Computation — modeling\, simulating\, predicting\, analy
 zing\, and displaying the behavior of physical systems — is central 
 to physics. Yet\, computation is not integrated into the US undergradu
 ate physics curriculum. I will describe two institutional and curricul
 ar change efforts directed at integrating computation as a standard pr
 oblem solving method throughout the physics major. One has been ongoin
 g at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for several years and the
  other is a nascent collaboration of 9 institutions of diverse types.

  Prof Shaul Hanany (https://cse.umn.edu/dsi/shaul-hanany) would like t
 o hear from students about their career plans after their current degr
 ee and about their perceptions of career prospects. He would be happy 
 to describe his department's Career Education Program for its students
