This engineering curriculum prepares engineering physicists for dynamic careers in the rapidly changing engineering field or in interdisciplinary areas bridging science and engineering. The physics and mathematics prerequisites align closely with the B.S. in Physics program, but students complete an extra 30 credit hours of engineering coursework focused on a specialized concentration within engineering physics. The program's structure delivers both fundamental scientific principles and advanced technological expertise essential for engineering. Consequently, graduates gain the adaptability to enter physics or engineering roles directly after completing their studies or to advance to graduate programs in physics (spanning fields from solid state physics to astrophysics), engineering disciplines (such as electrical, mechanical, or nanoengineering), or professional tracks like medicine or law.
Learning Outcomes
For a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics, students will:
Identify, analyze, and resolve intricate scientific and engineering challenges using engineering, scientific, and mathematical principles.
Develop engineering designs that address specific requirements while accounting for public health, safety, welfare, and broader global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic considerations.
Convey information effectively to diverse audiences, including both technical and non-technical groups.
Acknowledge ethical and professional duties in engineering and scientific contexts and form reasoned decisions that evaluate the consequences of engineering and scientific outcomes on global, economic, environmental, and societal scales.
