Area Committee on Physics in Undergraduate Education Mission Members Meetings Resources Annual Report from the Chair 2005, Jeff Williams 2004, Donald F. Holcomb 2003, Steven R. Turley 2002, Steven R. Turley 2001, Juan R. Burciaga

The work of the committee focuses on four questions.

• What is a "good education" in physics?
  
  
• How can we help our students learn physics more effectively?
  
  
• How can we make the study of physics the most challenging ... the most enaging one possble? for both faculty and students.
  
  
• How can we better promote the study of physics at the undergraduate level?
  
  

These questions are not unique to the committee. Most of the physics community is working on them. But the undergraduate education committee helps maintain the dialogue in the AAPT.
