Engineering physics is an interdisciplinary program offered jointly by the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Physics.
This program emphasizes engineering science and basic physics as applied to the design of processes, systems, and devices. The program is designed
to prepare students for employment in engineering with emphasis on research and development; to do graduate study in either physics or engineering;
and to use modern engineering, scientific analysis, and design techniques. The engineering physicist is typically a link between laboratory scientists
and production engineers.
The curriculum contains a core of practical mathematics and computer usage, as well as basic science and engineering science to prepare the student
for graduate work. Additional courses in solid state, lasers, electro-optics, transducer instrumentation, and signal communication provide excellent
background for industrial or governmental research and development (R&D) work. Opportunities for graduates include laser systems development, detector
systems development, device design, computer chip design, materials development, detector systems development, avionics, aerospace engineering, superconductivity,
environmental science, and management.

A final design project is required of all students, providing unmatched experience for work in research and development. The favorable faculty-to-student
ratio in this program allows students to pursue independent design projects under faculty supervision, frequently utilizing industry or governmental laboratories. These
hands-on projects give students experience, better equipping them for employment in today's competitive job market.
