Engineering Physics Concentration


Engineering Physics


Engineering Physics prepares students for engineering practice based on a curriculum designed to develop an understanding of physics and its application in electrical engineering and materials science through classroom instruction and hands-on laboratory experience. The core of the curriculum is comprised of a sequence of fundamental courses in modern physics, electricity and magnetism of materials, design of electronic circuits, semiconductor devices, and signal processing. The curriculum culminates with program electives and a two-term Senior Design sequence. The design project builds on the knowledge gained in coursework and involves independent and/or team problem solving under the guidance of a faculty mentor.

At least one senior design course offered by one of the other SSOE engineering programs is required; the second course may be a senior project arranged with a faculty mentor and taken as ENGSCI 1801 - ENGINEERING DESIGN 1  or ENGR 1050 - PRODUCT REALIZATION . Students wishing to complete a two-term project with a faculty mentor may request approval for the second term to count as a program elective (ENGSCI 1802 - ENGINEERING DESIGN 2 ).
