Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Degree Programs of Study

Florida Polytechnic University’s Engineering Physics degree program prepares students for careers in engineering and physics where physical principles can be applied to the advancement of technology. The Engineering Physics program develops depth in both engineering and physics skills producing scientists and engineers who can relate fundamental physics to practical engineering problems. Through the required course work students are prepared to address new problems in our rapidly changing technological base. Overall, the B.S. degree program in Engineering Physics prepares our graduates with skills and the knowledge to pursue traditional routes of going to graduate school for physics or related engineering disciplines, as well as, to go directly into their career as engineers, research technicians, teachers, analysts, and so on.

Program Educational Objectives

Florida Polytechnic University’s Engineering Physics degree program is built on several goals. Put plainly, upon graduation Engineering Physics majors should be able to:

  • synthesize knowledge of math and physics,
  • apply engineering design approaches,
  • apply experimental research skills,
  • apply computational techniques,
  • be broadly understandable,
  • be employable, and
  • be bold and passionate in their pursuit and application of knowledge.

For program purpose, objectives, and learning outcomes see the Department of Physics .
