The mission of the Instructional Support Shop is to assist the Physics Department Faculty and Graduate Teaching Assistants in providing the highest quality physics education to our students.


This assistance includes:

  • Development & construction of lecture demonstrations
  • Management & maintenance of the undergraduate teaching labs
  • Development & scheduling of lab experiments
  • Training, supervision & scheduling of lab instructors
  • Development of lab manuals used in the undergraduate labs

    The instructional support staff additionally:

  • Manages the department's physical resouces inventory
  • Provides basic computer repair and support services for the Physics Department
  • Assists in on and off-campus, community service physics demonstrations
  • Physics Lecture Demonstrations

    Often, fully comprehending new concepts hinges on seeing the abstract turned into reality. Physics is no exception to this principle, and for many students, lecture demonstrations play an important part in the learning process.
