Physics students explore fundamental principles in mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, relativity, quantum mechanics, and particle physics. They also examine how core theories apply to various states of matter—solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas—analyzing their mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal characteristics, along with atomic and nuclear structures. Furthermore, students acquire experimental physics laboratory competencies that support both original research and practical implementations of established theories. The Engineering Physics (EP) program in the College of Engineering and Applied Science caters to students passionate about physics and its real-world uses. EP offers two specializations: Solid State Electronics and Optical Sciences. Our EP curriculum, structured to meet engineering physics accreditation standards, incorporates multiple engineering courses and emphasizes practical application.
