Faculty Coordinator
Douglas Pease
Douglas Pease, Ph.D. is a professor in the Physics Department.
Dr. Pease’s specialties and interests lie in the development
of a novel x-ray apparatus for materials research, including
enhanced diffraction anomalous fine structure spectroscopy,
diffraction of thermal barrier coating assemblies, x-ray extensometry,
and XAFS of waste-dump pollutents. He also works with the
structural and electronic nature of metallic alloys. Since
receiving his doctorate from the University of Connecticut
in 1972, Dr. Pease has been a visiting scholar at Argonne
National Laboratory twice.
Course Offerings
PHYS 121Q - General Physics
- Fall semester. Four credits. Three class periods and
one 3-hour laboratory period. PHYS 121Q may be taken before
PHYS 122Q; PHYS 121Q may not be taken concurrently with
PHYS 122Q. Prerequisite: MATH 112 or 109 or 118 or passing
score on the calculus readiness test or equivalent. PHYS
121 not open for credit to students who have passed PHYS
131, 141 or 151. PHYS 121 required for PHYS 122.
- Basic facts and principles of physics. The laboratory
offers fundamental training in exact measurements.
PHYS 122Q - General Physics
- Spring semester. Four credits. Three class periods and
one 3-hour laboratory period. PHYS 122Q should be taken
after PHYS 121Q; PHYS 122Q may not be taken concurrently
with PHYS 121Q. Prerequisite: MATH 112 or 109 or 118 or
passing score on the calculus readiness test or equivalent.
PHYS 122 not open for credit to students who have passed
PHYS 132, 142, or 152. Phys 121 required for PHYS 122.
- Basic facts and principles of physics. The laboratory
offers fundamental training in exact measurements.
PHYS 131Q - General Physics with Calculus
- Recommended preparation: MATH 113Q or 115Q.
- Quantitative study of the basic facts and principles of physics. The laboratory offers fundamental training in physical measurements. This course is recommended for students planning to apply for admission to medical, dental or veterinary schools. It is also recommended for science majors for whom a one year introductory physics course is adequate.
Events
UConn ECE Physics Workshop

Please remember, certified instructors who did not attend the 2007 Physics Workshop are required to attend the 2008 workshop in order to maintain certification.
Frequently Asked Questions About Instructor Certification
- Q: What are the minimum requirements for instructor
certification in physics?
- A: The minimum degree requirement for teachers wishing
to teach UConn ECE physics courses is a Bachelor's
degree in physics with at least 3.0 GPA in the basic calculus
level physics course, an overall 2.5 GPA for all physics
courses on the transcript, plus two years teaching experience
at the high school level. Candidates with a Master's degree
or Ph.D. in physics will be considered without the two-year
teaching experience requirement.
