IMPORTANT: The Department of Electrical Engineering is no longer admitting new students to the Engineering Physics program at this time.
Engineering Physics is a specialized degree program that stresses the basic physics that forms the foundation of many technology developments in modern engineering applications. This emphasis, combined with the hands-on laboratory learning at Wright State University, provides an excellent preparation for a wide range of careers in research and development industry, as well as scientific research laboratories. The Engineering Physics program at Wright State University offers a curriculum with extensive laboratory learning experiences in the areas of electro-optics, microwave engineering, nanotechnology, micro electrical-mechanical systems, plasmas, and semi-conductor technology. A high percentage of Engineering Physics students graduate with high GPAs, starting rewarding engineering careers within the defense industry, particularly with the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
The Department of Electrical Engineering offers this Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Physics in addition to the core degree of Electrical Engineering. The Program Guides are useful tools for students to use to plan their schedules in order to complete the intended program in four years. The Engineering Physics Program Guide and the Electrical Engineering Program Guide list the required courses and availability by quarter. Program Guides can change for each academic year.
Students should contact their academic adviser to ensure the use of the correct Program Guide. Each program has specified degree requirements determined by the Department, College, and University.
The program educational objectives for the Engineering Physics program, in support of the missions of the University and College, are to produce engineers who
- Objective 1: Can identify and solve engineering and scientific research problems using current engineering physics techniques and practices, drawing on strong foundation in mathematics, science, and engineering.
- Objective 2: Will have rewarding careers as engineering research professionals designing, developing, and improving products or services.
- Objective 3: Will be successful in career development and professional growth through graduate school, industrial training, workshops, professional conferences, or continuing education.
- Objective 4: An effectively collaborate and communicate with colleagues and clients; will engage in multidisciplinary teamwork and exercise leadership that address issues in an ethical and responsible manner.
