The Engineering Physics major at the Duffield College of Engineering is intended for students who want research or development careers in applied science and advanced technology. Its core is physics and mathematics, both experimental and theoretical, which underpin modern engineering. Students can pair this physics base with a concentration in a more conventional engineering or applied science field.
Graduates often enter industry roles spanning areas such as aerospace, electronics, energy conversion, and software engineering. Others continue to advanced study in applied physics, materials science, medical physics, and related fields. The major also prepares students for medical school, business school, or patent law. The combination of physics and engineering gives graduates flexibility across research, development, and technical management roles. Students can select concentrations that match their interests in a particular engineering or applied science area.
