ENGINEERING PHYSICS (BS)
The engineering physics degree program is a diverse study
emphasizing physics, mathematics, computer science and electronic
instrumentation. A graduate can select many options: entering the
business sector as an industrial physicist, engineering-related scientist
or computer analyst, or entering graduate school for study toward
MS or PhD degrees in engineering, physics or related sciences.
The engineering physics major has 6 hours of electives that may
include foreign language. During the first two years, the student
takes the same courses in mathematics and physics as the regular
physics major; so a final decision on a major is not required until thejunior year It is advantageous, however, to decide earlier to avoid
junior year. It is advantageous, however, to decide earlier to avoid
scheduling problems.
