Engineering physics combines applied science with principles from both engineering and physics. This versatile program serves as a comprehensive alternative to specialized engineering degrees, providing adaptable pathways for career advancement.
The program's structure builds a strong grounding in fundamental scientific concepts while developing the theoretical expertise needed for engineering applications. It equally benefits students aiming for industrial R&D roles or advanced academic pursuits in technical fields.
The curriculum mirrors the first two years of conventional engineering studies, followed by upper-level physics coursework comparable to a BS in Physics. Participants specialize through technical electives in high-demand areas like applied physics, materials science, computer science, or digital electronics. The program includes hands-on, project-based learning in advanced labs and seminars developed in collaboration with leading Massachusetts technology companies.
