Program details

Overview

Engineering Physics is a Bachelor of Engineering program at Carleton University combining engineering training with advanced study of physics. Students learn the semiconductor and electromagnetic fundamentals underpinning advanced technology, preparing for work on next-generation technologies such as quantum devices and organic semiconductors. Coursework includes electromagnetic fields and nanoscale technology and devices. The program provides access to Carleton's Microfabrication facility, one of the few integrated circuit manufacturing facilities at a Canadian university, and supports a large IEEE student chapter running hackathons, conferences and technical workshops. A co-op option offers work terms of 4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 months. Graduates pursue careers in biomedical physics and sensors, microelectronics and process engineering, nanotechnology, photonic systems, and photonics technology and communications, working in research labs, technology companies and telecommunications firms.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission to the Bachelor of Engineering requires the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, with a minimum of six Grade 12 U or M courses. Four of these six courses must be the required 4U prerequisites: Advanced Functions, Chemistry, and Physics, plus one of Calculus and Vectors (recommended), Biology, or Earth and Space Science. A 4U course in English or French is recommended but not required for admission. The overall admission average and the prerequisite-course average are set each year on a program-by-program basis, and meeting the stated minimum only establishes eligibility for consideration; because places are limited, the cut-off average for a given intake year is typically well above the minimum. Applicants seeking direct entry to the co-op option must meet the required overall and prerequisite-course cut-off averages, be registered full-time in the program, and be eligible to work in Canada.
