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-part senior design experience. The design projects build on the knowledge gained in coursework and involve independent and/or team problem solving under the guidance of a faculty mentor.
Area of Concentration: Engineering Physics Sample Curriculum
Eighth Term
- PHYS - Upper Level Physics Elective
- Humanities/Social Science Elective
- Humanities/Social Science Elective
- Program Elective
- Senior Design 2
Total Credits: 131
An Upper Level Physics Elective is a physics course with a course number > 1000.
All Humanities and Social Science electives must be selected from the SSOE approved list . Two courses must be from a single area (see SSOE guidelines).
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 ).
