Program details

Overview

Engineering Physics is an undergraduate program in the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy, leading to a Bachelor of Applied Science degree, with an option to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science with Professional Internship. The program combines mathematics, physics, and engineering coursework, with core courses in fundamental physical principles and modern experimental techniques; each year includes a course in experimentation and a design course, and students complete a group design project every year and a thesis in the final year. Students choose one of four options that sequence courses from another engineering discipline: Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, or Computing, and topics covered across the program include quantum mechanics, laser optics, and nanotechnology. Students may also pursue an Accelerated Master of Applied Science pathway. The program develops proficiency in mathematics and numerical modelling, laboratory measurement with advanced equipment, and independent and team-based project work, preparing graduates for careers or graduate studies in engineering and applied physics.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Queen's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science (Smith Engineering) admits all first-year applicants into one common first-year program under the Ontario Universities' Application Centre code QE; students who complete first year choose their specific plan, including Electrical and Computer Engineering (Innovation Stream), Geological Engineering, Engineering Physics and Mathematics & Engineering. Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need six 4U/4M courses: English 4U, Calculus and Vectors 4U, Advanced Functions 4U, Chemistry 4U and Physics 4U are all mandatory prerequisites, with no additional elective courses required beyond these five. Recent admission cycles required a mid-80s overall average for general Smith Engineering entry, rising to the high 80s for the Electrical & Computing Engineering stream and Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering. Applicants submit their OUAC application and official transcripts; non-Canadian-curriculum and non-native-English-speaking applicants must also meet Queen's English Language Proficiency requirement. No supplementary application or portfolio is required for general Engineering entry.
