Overview
The program's most distinguishing feature is a focus on the fundamentals of physics and mathematics, both experimental and theoretical, which are the foundation of modern engineering and research. By choosing an appropriate concentration, the students may combine this physics base with a solid background in a conventional area of engineering or applied science.
At Cornell University we offer a bachelor degree in Engineering Physics offers you an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of rapidly changing technology through an extensive physics and mathematics program in an engineering context. With electives and laboratory courses, you can easily combine this enhanced knowledge with the practical aspects of conventional engineering disciplines.
Engineering physics emphasizes the basic physics underlying most engineering developments, and mathematical tools vital to all engineers and scientists. The program is challenging, designed to stretch the mind.
Learning Outcomes
- Engineering physics is for students with a strong aptitude in science and mathematics who wish to apply these fundamental subjects to technical problems without the barriers of the historical divisions among disciplines.
- Combined with hands-on experience with computers, electronics, and lasers, this is excellent preparation for a broad range of careers.
Programme Structure
Courses included:
- Our curriculum fosters mastery in areas of basic physics and related skills that have in the past proven universally important.
- We believe that excellence in physics particularly developing the capability to do physics rather than just know physics is vitally important for a scientist or engineer, particularly to push the frontier of an engineering area.
- Therefore the Engineering Physics program encourages the development of experimental skills to complement formal coursework, offering five experimental courses in the areas of computers, lasers, optics and electronics. Combined with properly chosen specialty courses, this program enables students to choose future directions wisely.
- If you want a broad technological and scientific base from which to operate, regardless of your specific interests, Engineering Physics can open more career options than if you had chosen a narrowly defined field to study as an undergraduate.
