Engineering physics is an interdisciplinary program combining physics, and engineering courses for students interested in pursuing employment at the BS level. Students who have graduated from this program have obtained employment in the aerospace, electronics, and oil & gas industry as well as pursuing graduate studies in physics, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.
The rapid advances in technology especially in materials and electronis results in a short time frame between initial basic research and products hitting the market place. As a result, there is a need for an engineer who can transcend traditional educational boudaries and work in a multi-person team composed of individuals with different skill sets. This new type of engineer must have a better physics and materials background so that they can take advantage of advances in these fields and apply them in engineering applications before the market place changes.
While several schools in Texas including ACU, UNT, etc. state that they have engineering physics programs, these programs either involve a non-engineering support field (engineering technology, etc) or require the student to transfer to an ABET accredited engineering program to complete at least two years or more of the degree. The Department of Math, Physics, and Engineering is an interdisciplinary department composed of faculty in physics, math, electrical engineering, computer science, civil/hydrological engineering, and environmental engineering. Our program is one of only two Engineering Physics programs in Texas to be accredited by ABET. This ensures quality and means that our graduates can sit for the State licensing exam to become professional engineers.
