BA/BS in Engineering Physics

Engineering Physics is an honours option within Simon Fraser University's Engineering Science program, offered by the School of Engineering Science in the Faculty of Applied Sciences. It leads to a Bachelor of Applied Science degree and combines engineering design skills with a strong grounding in physics, preparing students to understand both how technologies such as transistors are used and why they work. The program is demanding and multidisciplinary; as an honours program it requires a specific grade point average to graduate. Alongside a core of pure, applied and engineering science courses, the curriculum includes study of the social impacts of technology, finance, management, design methods and entrepreneurship, plus an integrated communications course completed throughout the degree. The honours Bachelor of Applied Science program can be completed in nine academic terms plus a minimum of three co-op work terms. Students take a common engineering science core before choosing the Engineering Physics option later in the program, and graduate prepared for graduate studies or direct entry into industry roles spanning engineering and physics.
