The Engineering Physics program enables students with deep interests in both physics and engineering to focus their education on the intersecting areas of these fields. This major equips graduates for industrial careers, either immediately after completing their bachelor's degree or after pursuing graduate studies in engineering or physics. Employers frequently appreciate the distinctive problem-solving methodology of physics, particularly in industrial research and development settings. The engineering science and design elements prepare graduates for professional engineering roles.
Engineering physics students complete the Engineering Core curriculum along with an intensive physics course sequence. They choose a concentration from an engineering discipline and must finish a sequence of at least four courses in that specialty. Additionally, students must complete a senior research project supervised by a faculty member, which involves producing a written report and participating in senior seminars and symposium presentations.
