Pharm: An Environment For Physical Acoustics Research And Mentoring, Kent L. Gee, Tracianne B. Neilsen

Journal of Undergraduate Research

PHARM (PHysical Acoustics Research and Mentoring) has been operating partially with support from a MEG grant. The primary purpose of this mentoring environment is to provide undergraduates in Physics and Applied Physics opportunities to gain experience in fundamental areas of physical acoustics. It has also included students in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Mathematics. Within the acoustics community, “physical acoustics” refers to a number of subfields (e.g., outdoor sound propagation, aeroacoustics, and nonlinear acoustics). A large number of students have been able to participate in projects related to these areas. Many of these projects have been and are being documented …
