Let's do an #iteachphysics roll call. Please ell us where you teach, what level of students + how you define the terms used so far?

#iteachphysics If 'applied physics' has a formal definition maybe it is the intersection of 'modern physics' with 'technology solution'

BlackPhysicists - Moderator Mar 4 @ 10:15 AM EST

'Engineering physics' I would argue connotes a certain problem-solving methodology that has be inculcated into the students #iteachphysics
