Swenson College of Science & Engineering (DCSE) 298 - Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics

Program description

Engineering physics is the study of the combination of physics, engineering, and mathematics. Fundamental physics, rich problem solving, computational and coding skills, and engineering principles have broad career applications. This interdisciplinary, applied knowledge is designed for the continuous innovation required of careers as technology rapidly advances.

Unlike traditional engineering disciplines, engineering physics is not confined to a particular branch of physics or engineering. Instead, engineering physics is meant to provide more focus on applied physics plus mathematical and statistical techniques for specialties like electrical engineering or mechanical engineering. Our program bridges the gap between physics and engineering with an emphasis on research and development, analysis, design, and working with (leading) multidisciplinary teams. The distinguishing feature of our program is a focus on the fundamentals of physics and mathematics, reaching into the upper level experimental and theoretical physics courses, that are at the heart of modern engineering and advanced research in industry.
