Thermal physics is a core course requirement for most physics degrees andencompasses both thermodynamics and statistical mechanics content. However, theprimary content foci of thermal physics courses vary across universities. Thisvariation can make creation of materials or assessment tools for thermalphysics difficult. To determine the scope and content variability of thermalphysics courses across institutions, we distributed a survey to over 140institutions to determine content priorities from faculty and instructors whohave taught upper-division thermodynamics and/or statistical mechanics. Wepresent results from the survey, which highlight key similarities anddifferences in thermal physics content coverage across institutions. Though wesee variations in content coverage, we found 9 key topical areas covered by allrespondents in their upper-division thermal physics courses. We discussimplications of these findings for the development of instructional tools andassessments that are useful to the widest range of institutions and physicsinstructors.
