Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering for Engineering Physics - B.S.E. Eng. Physics - must complete the program listed above. This sample schedule is an example of one leading to graduation in eight terms.
Notes:
1If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Chemistry AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Chemistry 130/125/126 you will have met the Chemistry Core Requirement for CoE.
2If you have a satisfactory score or grade in Physics AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another institution for Physics 140/141 and 240/241 you will have met the Physics Core Requirement for CoE.
3Math Electives must be 300-level or higher.
4ME 440 or ME 540 can be substituted with faculty program advisor approval.
5Engineering Electives are to be chosen in consultation with the faculty advisor to form a coherent sequence that clearly defines professional goals for the student. Sample elective sequences for a number of different subject areas are available from the academic or faculty counselors.
6Students contemplating graduate studies in Physics should elect Physics 453, Quantum Mech and Physics 463, Solid State for a complete background.
