Engineering Physics, BS

The objective of the Engineering Physics Program is to produce graduates who are prepared to enter applied physics and engineering professions in the fields of electrical, optical, and bio-engineering. The program will prepare and provide competency and professional development to students to begin graduate studies in sciences and engineering. This program offers breadth in core sub-disciplines and depth in at least three areas of specialization.

The program’s educational objectives are:

  1. Core Competency: Graduates will be well-educated in fundamental concepts and skills in electrical engineering, bioengineering, and optical engineering.
  2. Practice through Professional Development: Graduates will be able to pursue new career opportunities, update and adapt core fundamental knowledge with hands-on experience, and develop the abilities to compete regionally, nationally, and globally.
  3. Graduates will be skilled in clear communication and teamwork and capable of functioning responsibly in diverse environments.

Learning Outcome for the BS in Engineering Physics Program

Outcome 1: Students will be able to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

Outcome 2: Students will be able to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

Outcome 3: Students will be able to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. 

Outcome 4: Students will be able to function on multidisciplinary teams.

Outcome 5: Students will be able to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. 

Outcome 6: Students will be able to understand professional and ethical responsibility

Outcome 7: Students will be able to communicate effectively

Outcome 8: Students will have the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context

Outcome 9: The students will gain recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning

Outcome 10: The students will articulate knowledge of contemporary issues.

Outcome 11: The students will be able to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

 

The Engineering Physics curriculum is based on core physics engineering courses plus physics electives within three (3) tracks:
