我们的教职员工和研究生是美国最著名和最受尊敬的物理学教育研究小组之一。从历史上看，我们在评估领域（例如TUG-K和BEMA），课程贡献（例如“物质和相互作用”课程的开发和实施）以及SCALE-UP工作室教室环境的建立方面做出了重大贡献。我们的教职员工和研究生也为WebAssign和可视化软件（例如VPython和VideoGraph）的开发做出了贡献。APS杂志《物理评论：物理教育研究》起源于此。物理系提供出色的研究生课程，为毕业生做好学术和物理职业前景的准备。我们的博士学位 该计划提供了令人振奋的学术氛
Our faculty members and graduate students constitute one of the most well-known and respected physics education research groups in the nation. Historically, we have made significant contributions to the field in assessments such as TUG-K and BEMA, in curricular contributions, such as the development and implementation of the Matter and Interactions curriculum, and in originating the SCALE-UP studio classroom environment. Our faculty and graduate students have also contributed to the development of WebAssign and visualization software such as VPython and VideoGraph. The APS journal Physical Review: Physics Education Research originated here. The Department of Physics offers outstanding graduate programs to prepare graduates for bright futures in academia and physics careers. Our Ph.D. program offers an exciting intellectual climate and a strong emphasis on research that advances the frontiers of physics. Our two M.S. programs (with thesis and without) prepare students to continue on to a Ph.D. degree or pursue career options. We envision North Carolina State University's Department of Physics as performing creative, highly visible research in fundamental and applied science. Our vision blends fundamental physics and applications, theory and experiment, and integrates research and innovative teaching to create a vibrant intellectual atmosphere within a welcoming and collegial environment.
