Junior Lab

Welcome to MIT Junior Lab! Junior Lab is a two semester sequence in experimental physics offered by the MIT Department of Physics, usually taken by third-year physics majors (hence the name). The course focuses on the professional and personal development of the student as a scientist through the medium of experimental physics.

This website was formerlly the central coordination site for Junior Lab's sprawling infrastructure of digital resources, but this function is now being consolidated onto our MIT Canvas LMS site on a semester-by-semester basis. This site will be partially maintained in its current state while it is translated to a resource for the staff of education physicsists who operate the Junior Lab program within the MIT Physics Education Group and for the professional community of advanced physics laboratory instructors across the world.
