Internetics and Physics II
A combination of Physics and a minor in Internetics is an interesting background for many areas such as:
- Systems Engineer designing global information systems
- Experimental physicist designing new data analysis systems
- K-12 science teacher
More generally will make Physics a more attractive major ...
Further comparing "books" with the Web, we see that the Web offers opportunities for "technical people" as well as those with good "communication skills” (of a traditional kind)
- Java applets combined with numerical algorithms or physics experimental instrument connected to Web may sometimes be more effective than streams of beautiful English words and nifty drawings
This implies a “Computational Science/Internetics” minor including base information technology and optional elective in “science communication” prepared by physics/engineering
- At Syracuse, attractive as Newhouse School of Communications gets excellent students
