Applied Physics - For Engineering

Applied physics is the application of the science of physics to helping human beings and solving their problems. It differs from engineering because engineers solve well-defined problems. Applied physicists use physics or conduct physics research to develop new technologies or solve engineering problems.What do manufacturing, aerospace and medical imaging have in common? Applied Physics! Our graduates are prepared to successfully compete for and perform in professional work across a broad range, including physics, engineering, education or related fields. The applied physics major also serves as an excellent pathway for students intending to pursue graduate study. With the applied physics major, students study a core physics curriculum along with practical and engineering techniques and applications, and carry out an intensive research or work-study program in preparation for employment, specialist vocational training or further specialized study.
