B.S. in Engineering Physics

The Physics & Engineering Physics Department, in partnership with each of the other engineering departments within the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, provides a sound scientific and engineering foundation for its graduates.  The Educational Objectives for the Engineering Physics program are for our graduates:
  • to be equipped to successfully enter and complete programs of graduate study in one of several engineering fields as well as in physics.
  • to be able to function as productive, qualified engineering professionals in areas where traditional science and engineering disciplines overlap.
  • to be aware of their responsibility to contribute to society as ethical, socially conscious practitioners of their profession.
