Engineering Physics

Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc in Eng)

Engineering Physicists incorporate the key parts of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Physics to create practical solutions to problems. Students will gain skills in engineering design and have the opportunity to obtain undergraduate research experience in an exciting and growing discipline. Learn how to launch rockets into space and build cutting-edge quantum technologies!

The Engineering Physics program begins with common core first-year engineering, which consists of 10 courses in mathematics, sciences, computing, engineering principles, communications and design.

Career opportunities

Engineering Physicists often work in research and development or high-tech industries, solving real-world problems and developing instruments, measurement techniques or prototype systems. A degree in engineering can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or a professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or architecture.

Program highlights

Collaborative teamwork – Interact with your peers while learning to collaborate on projects.
Engineering Career Centre – Access engineering career advisors and gain valuable full-time paid work experience through a 12-16 month placement.
Study abroad opportunities – Cultural and academic experiences at destinations around the world.

Courses in this program

Continuum Mechanics, Research and Design for Engineering Physics, Fundamentals of Circuits and Systems, Multiphysics Design for Electromechanical Systems, Math Methods for Engineering Physics
