Undergraduate Laboratories

What we offer


The Undergraduate Laboratories (UGL) unit is responsible for the overall operations of the physics undergraduate labs, including computational labs. The unit also provides instructional support to teaching faculty members, in-class lecture demonstrations, audio-visual resources, and assistance with midterm and final examinations. The unit also runs a high school physics outreach program. Twice a year, high school physics teachers from all over Alberta are invited to bring their classes for a half-day lab session each, where they do three physics experiments related to their curriculum.
