Why PULSE?

So, you're thinking of starting a STEM-related club. Here’s why it should be a PULSE or applied physics club:

1. Physics is a sector with strong projected job growth:  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the next 10 years, the demand for physicists and astronomers is expected to increase by 7-8%, which is more than most occupations (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025).

2. Physics has a broad range of employment opportunities: Physics majors are not just writing equations and doing experiments, they are also working in Wall Street, programming next-generational quantum computers, monitoring radiation-inducing medical therapies, improving supply-chain management, etc. The opportunities are endless.

3. The Physics sector houses a very welcoming community: From researchers to startup founders and from educators to scientists at national laboratories, the people in the physics community are very welcoming. At PULSE, we will give you the opportunity to access this wonderful community through interactive networking conferences with university faculty, research scientists, etc.
