Course Description
The aim of this introductory course in Particle Physics is to develop a basic understanding of the Standard Model of Particle Physics and how it has been tested experimentally. Students learn the basic structure of the Standard Model in terms of symmetry and how this leads to definite predictions for the interactions and properties of elementary particles which can be tested experimentally.

Course Description
Students enrolled in this physics course complete a scientific research project supervised by a faculty member from the physics or other similar department. Students are responsible for finding a supervisor and a project before applying to register for the course. All projects must be approved as suitable by the course instructor and respective supervisor. Students establish a base research schedule with their supervisor, consisting of the equivalent of nine hours of work per week and weekly meetings between the student and supervisor. Students explore or build something new for their research projects, present the results to class, and write a concise report.
