Purpose of the Program:
|
The Engineering Physics Bachelor of Science degree program at Florida Polytechnic University is designed to prepare aspiring students to be knowledgeable in conceptual understanding of Physics and critical thinking encompassed with problem solving skills. The acquisition of the above skills are paramount values for Poly Physics Majors to get ready for high paying industrial jobs or graduate school in advanced physics, engineering, or related disciplines.
The program in Engineering Physics focuses on the use of Physics in the analysis and evaluation of engineering problems and scientific applications. Engineering Physics offers a unique program in which students acquire the in-depth understanding of concepts based on defined physics principles and theoretical derivations, while also practicing its real world applications.
