Physics Faculty at SUNY Plattsburgh - Dr. Frederick

I am returning to the Physics Department after eight years on the faculty in elementary education. I am also semi-retired and teach only during the Fall semester. I originally came to SUNY Plattsburgh in 1975 in the Environmental Science Program and transferred to the Physics Department in 1984. I have degrees in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering as well as in Physics, and served as the Engineering 3+2 coordinator while in the Physics Department. I hope to be involved in the 3+2 program again. I have taught a variety of physics and engineering courses during my career both at SUNY Plattsburgh and other colleges. I also have 10 years of industrial experience in various engineering capacities.

I enjoy teaching physics for both majors and non-majors, and I have resurrected a solar energy course that I will teach starting in the Fall '06 semester. I am very laboratory and project-oriented, and believe in spending a lot of time with students, both academically and socially.
