Engineering physics is an applied science discipline that combines engineering principles with physics fundamentals. This versatile program serves as a comprehensive alternative to specialized engineering degrees, providing adaptable pathways for career advancement.
The curriculum builds a strong base in core scientific concepts while developing the theoretical expertise needed for engineering implementations. It equally benefits students aiming for industrial R&D positions or planning advanced studies across various technical fields.
The program structure mirrors standard engineering coursework for the initial two years, followed by upper-level physics courses comparable to a BS in Physics. Participants specialize through technical electives in high-demand sectors like applied physics, materials science, computer systems, or digital electronics. The program includes hands-on, project-based learning in an advanced lab setting, developed in collaboration with leading Massachusetts technology companies.
