The Engineering Physics bachelor\u2019s degree with science sub-plan is versatile and designed to provide students with a solid foundation in physics, mathematics and core engineering concepts, all of which are necessary to pursue graduate work in multidisciplinary complex areas. The curriculum leaves students with a variety of career choices. Graduates are able to seek innovative careers in industry, typically in research and development where problem-solving skills and an understanding of engineering are necessary, while at the same time, it provides a firm foundation for the pursuit of graduate studies in interdisciplinary engineering or physics topics at esteemed research universities. To name a few, our graduates may continue their education in advanced engineering and physics programs such as microelectronics, photonics, nuclear engineering, biomedical engineering, biophysics, radiation physics, nanotechnology or any discipline where the principles of physics are applied.<\/p>\n
