Requirements for the major in engineering physics, B.S. program
Coordinators: Hoda Abdel-Aty-Zohdy (SECS) with, Andrei Slavin (Physics)
The program in engineering physics is offered jointly by the School of Engineering and Computer Science and the College of Arts and Sciences. This program blends the pure and applied, the theoretical and practical aspects of scientific knowledge into a meaningful educational experience. Through the university’s cooperative education program, engineering physics students may opt to combine a relevant work experience with their formal education.
Course requirements (minimum of 128 total credits)
To earn the degree of Bachelor of Science with a major in engineering physics, students must complete a minimum of 128 credits, demonstrate writing proficiency (see Undergraduate degree requirements) and meet the following requirements: General education (excluding mathematics and science) – 28 credits
- Students are required to take PHL 104 - Introduction to Ethics in Science and Engineering to satisfy the general education requirement in Western Civilization.
- In order to graduate on-schedule without taking additional courses, it is highly recommended that students meet with an SECS Undergraduate Academic Adviser concerning the selection of all of their general education courses.
Mathematics and sciences – 48
Must choose one course from the list below:
Professional Depth areas – 12 credits
The following two depth areas are offered as typical. Select 12 credits from one of these. Students with different interests can construct different depth areas in consultation with the program coordinators. Solid state physics and technology depth area
Choose one design elective course from the list below
Applied mechanics depth area
Design elective, chosen from
Technical electives, choose 8 credits from
Performance Requirements and Additional General Education Notes
In addition to the previously stated requirements, satisfactory completion of the program requires an average grade of at least 2.0 in the engineering and computer science courses and also in the mathematics and science courses taken to meet program requirements. Students in this program are not required to complete the college distribution requirement of the College of Arts and Sciences.
