Engineering Physics – Materials Science Concentration The B.S. program in Engineering Physics is offered jointly by the School of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The goal of the interdisciplinary Engineering Physics program is to offer engineering students a more in-depth exploration of physical principles paired with a solid background in quantitative skills and mastery in an engineering discipline. The major requires 128 credits of course work including 4 credits of senior thesis. The coursework for the freshman year is identical with the MSE curriculum. Starting in the sophomore year, more emphasis is placed on physics courses while civil engineering courses that are part of the MSE curriculum are not required. The junior and senior years comprise a balanced curriculum in MSE and physics. Engineering Physics majors opting for a Materials Science concentration are required to complete the following: CHEM 1127Q, and 1128Q or 1148Q; PHYS 1501Q, 1502Q, 2300, 2501W, 3101, 3201, 3202, 3401, 4150 and 4210; MATH 1131Q, 1132Q, 2110Q, 2410Q, and 3410; MSE 2001, 2002, 2053, 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004, 3055 and 3056, 4003W, 4901 and 4902W; MSE Elective Courses (9 credits); Physics Elective Courses (3 credits).
