The PLU Department of Physics offers bachelor of science and bachelor of arts degrees in physics, a bachelor of science degree in applied physics, and a bachelor of arts in education degree for
might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors, or the life cycles of stars, from their formation out of interstellar gases to their end-states as pulsars or black holes. Physicists use high-energy accelerators to search for quarks; they design new laser systems for applications in medicine and communications; they heat hydrogen gases to temperatures above those at the sun’s core in the attempt to develop nuclear

William Davis ’06 is co-founder of FabLab Tacoma, a makerspace dedicated to project-based learning, entrepreneurship and tinkering.
, a laser cutter, AutoCAD software, computer-controlled sewing machines, woodworking and welding tools, virtual reality modules and more. One recent evening, students from the University of Washington Tacoma had the opportunity to test some of the tools. The title of the beginning engineering course was fitting: “How to Make Almost Anything.” Davis says that’s just what FabLab offers, the ability to let your imagination and creativity run wild (safely, of course). Every time makers come into the

TACOMA, WASH. (March 23, 2016)- Imagine using bananas and a circuit board to create a piano. Absurd? Thanks to the maker movement and some creative minds, it isn’t. Pacific Lutheran University’s School of Education & Kinesiology is bringing that creative spirit to campus April 12…
maker movement has impacted education and how schools can set up their own makerspaces for students. Makerspaces offer community centers equipped with 3-D printers, laser cutters and other high- and low-tech tools available to people from all walks of life. “It’s like 21st century wood shop,” said Dr. Leon Reisberg, recipient of the Jolita Hyllan Benson Endowed Chair in Elementary Education. The workshop and subsequent lecture will feature speakers Sylvia Martinez and Gary Stager, co-authors of the

TACOMA, WASH. (June 24, 2016)- As Hannah Park poses for a few quick photos outside the main office of Franklin Pierce High School, it seems she is well-liked by everyone in the close-knit community. “Hey Hannah, should you be in class?” a staff member playfully…
how to be prepared for any situation, think on feet and improvise.” Like Park, Gutierrez is already laser focused on a specific major. He decided to pursue a career in nursing after witnessing firsthand the impact nurses could have when his grandfather was hospitalized. “He had a stomach ulcer and was in the ICU for a long time,” Gutierrez explains. “Watching the nurses helping a person, my grandfather, in that much need led me to decide ‘I want to help people in this same way.’” The combination

definition of “comfortable.” During the winter, chilly Lutes bring in personal space heaters to keep workspaces toasty, but by doing so, Bell said, they’re contradicting the goal of PLUs sustainability campaign, “Keep it at 68,” and reducing its overall impact. “Heating and cooling guidelines have been adopted by PLU, including guidance on the use of space heaters,” said Bell. “This policy was created in 2010 by Facilities Management and Sustainability to reduce energy consumption and reduce costs, while
