Engineering Physics Minor

The minor in Engineering Physics gives Science as well as non-Science majors the opportunity to explore and apply scientific principles in technology and engineering, achieve proficiency in the applications of mathematics in engineering, formulate the design and development of engineering structures, and investigate the physical and engineering issues of air, water, and soil resources in our environment. A principal focus in this minor will be the integration of engineering, science, and mathematics in problem solving.

This minor will be of particular interest to Science majors such as Environmental Science, Chemistry, and Mathematics but the minor is open to anyone with an interest in Engineering Physics. All students though must fulfill the course prerequisites for the upper-level engineering courses due to the advanced nature of the mathematics, engineering, and science topics presented in these courses. The minor is not open to Engineering Management majors since the course work listed in the minor is already part of the required courses in their degree plan.
