[Phys-L] Phys21 report



The Joint Task Force on Undergraduate Physics Programs (J-TUPP) is a joint task force convened by the American Physical Society (APS) and the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and was charged with preparing a report that will engage and inform physicists in answering the question:
What skills and knowledge should the next generation of undergraduate physics degree holders possess to be well prepared for a diverse set of careers?

The task force's report "Phys21" has been published.
"Phys21: Preparing Physics Students for 21st Century Careers" report provides guidance for physicists considering revising the undergraduate curriculum to improve the education of a diverse student population. The report includes recommendations on content, pedagogy, professional skills, and student engagement and documentable student outcomes.

The Phys21 Supplement has also been published. The Supplement, "Summary of Background Reports on Careers and Professional Skills," provides a summary of background reports on careers and professional skills in all the STEM disciplines.
