Information
The Chair teaches
Physics to all students of the University and conducts research work.
Teaching is carried out according to 2 programs: a three-term course for
engineering specialties and a two –term course for economic specialties and
the Junior Engineer program. Together with the Department of Cybernetics
students are trained in the specialty ''Physical Electronics". Apart
from this, the Chair conducts the course ''General Physics '' (lectures,
practical and laboratory classes) at the division of foreign students. A
special attention is paid to teaching Physics in SEUA affiliate High
School. The Chair carries out methodical consultation, as well as takes
different measures to deepen the knowledge-classes in clubs, Olympiads,
etc.
Six university laboratories function at the Chair; 2 - on mechanics and
molecular physics, 2 - on electricity and magnetism, 2 - on oscillation,
wave and quantum physics.
Solar Energy Engineering Laboratory headed by Professor of the Chair of
Physics Zh. Panossyan functions at the research sector of SEUA. At present
intensive developments of both theoretical and technological character are
carried out aimed at creation of high-effective solar converters. The
laboratory is located on the ground floor of building 17 of SEUA.
On the initiative of Prof. Aboyan a research X-ray laboratory is founded at
the Chair of Physics where intensive scientific work is carried out to
develop and apply new X-ray photographic and X-ray interferometric
precision methods of investigation of semiconductor crystal imperfections.
In 2000 the laboratory was the first all over the world to develop and
realize multiple X-ray interferometers. This laboratory is located in
building 7 of SEUA.
Historical Reference
The Chair of Physics
was founded in 1991 as a result of integrating three chairs of General
Physics in Yerevan Polytechnic Institute.
At present 24 Faculty are employed at the Chair among them 4 Dr. Sci., 17
Ph.D. Many of these teachers are Professors and Associate Professors. The
Chair occupies the second and third floors of building 9 of SEUA.
The main teaching conception of General Physics accepted by the Chair is as
follows: to give the students stable knowledge of basic laws of Physics,
basic notions, conceptions and models. It will help the students to acquire
skills for solving physical problems; prepare the students to study subjects
like electrical engineering, radio-engineering, applied mechanics, etc,
which, in essence are additions to the laws of physics to technical
problems.
