Physics with an Engineering Emphasis
Students who are interested in the
practical application of physics to the engineering fields, but would
like a less specialized education than they would find in an
engineering department, will find that this degree track provides
them with a solid education. In addition to the strong
physics core curriculum, students
can either focus on one area of engineering or explore a broad range
of interests across a number of engineering fields. Students
interested in moving directly into industry, and students who want to
pursue a graduate degree in either engineering or physics, will find
this program valuable.
In filling the engineering portion of the technical electives,
credits can be taken in a single area or distributed across several
engineering fields, depending on a student's interest. The other
technical electives can include courses in any of the physical
sciences or mathematics as well as engineering. This arrangement
allows a student considerable flexibility to arrange a coherent and
relevant program of study.
