A Sketch of the Undergraduate Physics Curriculum

The Undergraduate Physics Curriculum tends to be both ubiquitous and equivocal. Though normally defined at the level of courses there is ambiguity in the content and coverage of course work from institution to institution, and frequently within the same institution, even though identical or similar textbooks are used. The talk focuses on a sketch of a representative Undergraduate Physics Curriculum using an inventory that focuses on the learning objectives, key concepts, content, and iconic problems of a model physics major.
