While studying Engineering Physics, you're learning to combine your advanced knowledge of electrical, mechanical and computer systems and the fundamental principles of physics to design novel products and new technologies. You’ll develop important skills to turn your innovative ideas into real-life products.
These skills may include:
- Application of theoretical and practical knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, electronics, software, and physics to develop new materials, devices, and systems
- Engage in scientific research experience to develop scientific methods and to execute experiments
- Agility to move fluidly from big picture to small detail and work effectively in a fast-paced environment
- Design and building of commercially viable prototypes with consideration to functionality, safety, manufacturability, and cost
- Capacity to quickly build knowledge in new domains and digest large amounts of technical data and use that information to make sound recommendations
- Verbal and written communication, and the ability to interpret and summarize scientific results clearly and concisely
- Usage of specialized lab equipment, fabrication tools, programming languages, and advanced modeling software
