Overview

Students in the Engineering Physics program of Colorado School of Mines take pre-engineering and engineering courses physics majors at other universities would not normally take—these include engineering science, design, systems, summer field session and a capstone senior design sequence culminating in a senior thesis. This approach prepares graduates to work at the intersection of science and technology, where new discoveries are being put into practice.

Program objectives

The program prepares graduates who, based on factual knowledge and other skills necessary to construct an appropriate understanding of physical phenomena in applied contexts, will:

Obtain a range of positions in industry or positions in government facilities or pursue graduate education in engineering, science or related fields

Communicate and perform effectively within the criteria of their chosen careers

Engage in appropriate professional societies and continuing education activities

Participate ethically as members of the global society
